Review of Brussel's Chinese Elm Outdoor Bonsai Tree

The tree and pot which arrived were not the ones pictured.Also, the trunk has several indentions and rust spots from where improper wire was left on the trunk too long.I expected better.

Review of Bonsai Boy's Decorative Landscape Pebbles(Small Grade Size)

I am not a Bonsai tree collector and perhaps this would be obvious to someone who has been into this art.However, I bought these pebbles for a different intended purpose and was unpleasantly surprised that they are very small.The picture is a magnification of what you get.In reality, the package I received was about 3" x 2" and the size of the pebbles approximately 2-3 mm or 1/8 inch or even smaller.If you have imagine the size of aquarium gravel that is fairly fine grained, you will get a sense for the overall texture that will be created.

The color of the pebbles is a beautiful natural looking brown and they have a bit of smoothness and luster to them.I imagine they would look beautiful under a Bonsai tree, but you only get enough to do one plant.This seems a bit expensive to me, but this is not my hobby area and perhaps this is the going rate.

Review of Desert Rose Plant - Natural Bonsai - Adenium obesum

I RECEIVED MY DESERT ROSE PLANT IN 4 DAYS, EARLIER THAN EXPECTED, AND THE HEATING PAD WAS STILL VERY WARM.THE PLANT WAS LARGER THAN EXPECTED 14" TALL. THE PRICE WAS, AS I CONSIDER IT TO BE, MUCH LOWER THAN OTHERS OFFERING THE SAME PLANT. THE PLANT WAS PACKAGED VERY CAREFULLY AND WAS NOT DAMAGED WHEN IT ARRIVED. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THE PLANT ON THE DAY I RECEIVED IT (DEC. 21ST) AND I WILL BE LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE A YEAR FROM NOW.THANK YOU HIRTS GARDEN FOR MAKING MY VERY FIRST PLANT ORDER ONLINE A GREAT ONE.

Product Description:
Desert Rose -Adenium obesumGeneral Information: The Desert Rose is a native of East Africa. It will grow from 6 1/2 to 10 feet in the wild. It has fleshy leaves and beautiful 2-inch pink open-trumpet shaped flowers. It is a succulent, and forms more of a bush than a tree. It makes an excellent house plant or indoor bonsai. Lighting: Needs lots of light and fresh air. Keep in a bright location in winter. In summer, if possible, move outdoors to a sunny or partly shaded location.Temperature: Growing temperature should not be below 54 degrees. However, in the winter, keeping it cool (between 54-61 degrees) whch gives the plant a needed rest.Watering: Needs little water during winter, especially when kept cool. Increase water during growing and blooming periods. The total watering needed is similar to crassula, portulacaria and other succulents, and it will lose leaves if overwatered.Feeding: Monthly during spring and summer with liquid bonsai fertilizer. Fish emulsion is also reported to work well.Pruning and wiring: Style primarily by clip and grow. Do heavy pruning after the plant's rest period. However, it bleeds profusely, so heavy pruning should be kept to a minimum. New shoots can be pruned regularly. The sap is poisonous, so clean hands after pruning, and avoid getting sap into open wounds.Propagation: Similar to jade trees - cuttings need to be dried for 3-4 days before planting in a sand-peat mix.Repotting: Root prune and repot every two years, after the winter rest period, in a mix of 2 parts bonsai soil, 2 parts peat, and one part sand. Can tolerate being pot-bound.

Review of Bamboo Leaf Weeping Fig Tree - Bonsai or House Plant

This does not look like the picture.Buyer Beware!I have had the $10 plant for 3 months.Not worth the money.It was half dead when I got it, and the company said I could pay to return it to them, and would have to have it packaged in a certain way.Cost more to ship back.I kept it and I am still not happy.I bought a few plant from them.I have a green thumb and love house plants, but these were not worth it.

Review of Giant Sequoia 50 Seeds - BONSAI - Sequoia Giganteum

Out of 50 seeds I planted, only one has germinated.I'll know better once it gets big enough to transplant out of my bathroom.I followed the instructions to the letter, but I'm not sure how well they will grow in Illinois...

Product Description:
The "General Sherman" is a giant sequoia growing in Sequoia National Park, California, that happens to be the largest living thing on Earth. This tree is 275' tall and its crown spreads 107'. The trunk is more than 26' in diameter. The General Sherman is believed to be 2,500 years old, and weigh more than 1000 tons. John Muir called the giant sequoia "the noblest of a noble race." The giant sequoia is a columnar or cone-shaped tree, losing its lower branches and becoming flat-topped with age. Trees more than 100 years old typically are free of branches to a height of 100' or more. In cultivation, giant sequoias usually grow no more than 60-100' tall and retain their lower branches which may droop down to touch the ground and sometimes take root. The reddish brown bark is very thick (up to 20" thick) and deeply fissured. The bright gray-green leaves are scale-like, sharp-pointed, 1/4" long, overlapping each other, and completely covering the twigs. The egg shaped cones are 3" long, and remain on the tree for up to 20 years. Unlike the related California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), giant sequoia does not sprout from the roots.The General Sherman is considered to be the largest giant sequoia because of a combination of height, canopy spread and trunk diameter. However, some giant sequoias are closer to 300' tall, and some California redwoods and coast Douglas-firs (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), although not as massive as giant sequoias, are even taller.

Review of Buybonsai's Bonsai Potting Kit 8"

This is a nice item for the money. It turned my funny looking plant (my wife said) into a Bonsai. The only thing else that would have been nice with it would be some wire to help train the plant.
