Indoor Bonsai are tropical plants that are adaptable to indoor conditions. It takes several weeks for indoor
bonsai to acclimate to a new environment. During this period, your bonsai may shed up to 20% of its foliage.
This is normal. All indoor bonsai grow best in sunny areas. For best results, place your indoor bonsai near
windows facing southeast or west. Exposure to sunlight will enable your bonsai to replace foliage it may have
lost while adjusting to its new environment. If you do not have a place for your tree to receive adequate
sunlight, we recommend using a grow light. Indoor bonsai will flourish if grown outdoors on a patio or deck
during summer months. The ideal placement is where the bonsai receives morning sun and afternoonshade. Return
your bonsai indoors when night temperatures fall below 55 degrees. Never allow your indoor bonsai to freeze.
WATERING PROPERLY
Watering properly is critical to maintaining a healthy bonsai! Indoor bonsai should normally be watered every
two or three days. Watering instructions may vary slightly depending on the tree variety. Please refer to the
information tag attached to your bonsai for any specific watering instructions. Placing ice cubes on the topsoil is an easy way to water. Use enough ice cubes to
wet the soil thoroughly.Never allow your bonsai to completely dry out. Humidity
trays filled with decorative stone not only capture excess water, they also create needed humidity around your
bonsai. The bag of decorative rock accompanying your humidity tray should be opened and spread out in the
tray. Your bonsai tree sits on top of the decorative rocks. During the time your indoor bonsai is outdoors, it
will require more frequent waterings. Thoroughly water your bonsai daily during this outdoor period. Water
your bonsai properly by using a watering can or hose attachment that has a fine-spray nozzle. You
should thoroughly soak your bonsai’s soil. Water should be running out of the drain holes. Misting
foliage periodically is recommended, but should not be considered watering. General care is also important to
maintaining a beautiful bonsai. Bonsai should be periodically trimmed to keep their miniature shape. To best
understand trimming and wiring techniques, we recommend purchasing an instructional book.
REPOTTING
Your bonsai will need to be repotted every four to five years. It is necessary to repot your bonsai when its
root system becomes pot bound. Repotting indoor bonsai should only be done during late spring or early summer.
Make sure you are using a good bonsai soil when repotting since regular potting soil will compact and inhibit
proper drainage. After receiving your new Tree, always wait at least one growing season before repotting your
bonsai to make sure it is well established. We recommend you refer to a bonsai book for specific instructions.
FERTILIZING
Fertilizing bonsai is required. Most water-soluble and time-released fertilizers work very well when used as
directed. We recommend using slow-releasing organic fertilizers for more mature specimen bonsai.
INSECTS & DISEASES
Insects and diseases can attack bonsai just like any other plant. Inspect your bonsai regularly. A brisk
spraying of the trunk and foliage periodically will help keep your tree clean. If any problems appear, most
garden centers have products available for treatment.

I ordered several bonsai's and was excited to receive them. They were all packaged very well and were beautiful. They each come with instructions for care. Follow the instructions, and you will have a healthy plant. I over-watered mine initially causing some leaf damage, but since getting into more of a routine and earning more about the plants, I've not had any issues and the plants have recovered. I'm thoroughly enjoying them.

Perfect
I recently purchased a beautiful bonsai tree, and I am thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The tree arrived on time, exactly as promised, which was a relief. The packaging was exceptional; it was carefully secured to ensure it remained intact during shipment, which showed the seller's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction.
The bonsai itself is stunning, with its intricate branches and lush foliage. It has become the centerpiece of my living room, receiving many compliments from visitors. The craftsmanship is evident, and it's clear that a lot of thought and care went into shaping this miniature tree.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend this Brussel’s Bonsai to anyone looking to add a beautiful bonsai tree to their collection or to gift a unique, living art piece. Highly recommended.

Amazing Plant, Shipping - well...
The tree is beautiful and thriving even though it was shipped from MO to NH in cold weather. I could not be more thrilled with the product we received. My only complaint is about the false advertising regarding their Shipping section on the website which states "orders received by 1:00pm M-F will ship the same day..." Based on their website, I was supposed to receive my order 1-4 business days after placing my order. I thought I had been scammed because a week went by and I hadn't received my order, let alone a shipping email with a tracking number. I emailed them and received a short to the point email stating "your order will ship Monday", no apologies or kind words, not even a "have a great day" or "thank you for doing business with us". In essence, ignore their shipping section of the website and do not expect your order for at least 2 weeks after placing the order. The product itself is great. It came well packaged, no damage, and everything was included that I paid for.
