Meet the Trees

• Chinese Redbud (Cercis chinensis): Heart-shaped leaves and masses of pink-purple flowers in spring. A beautiful flowering variety with seasonal interest.
• Sweetgum (Liquidambar formosana): Distinctive maple-like leaves that shift from green to red, orange and yellow in autumn. A colourful deciduous bonsai choice.
• Pine Evergreen (Pinus halepensis): Classic bonsai shape with sculptural needles and strong form. An evergreen tree that provides year-round structure.

How to Grow

Step 1 – Soak Seeds: Some species may benefit from overnight soaking to help speed germination.

Step 2 – Sow in Mini Propagator: Expand coir discs with water, place seeds in the growing medium, cover with lid, and place on a sunny windowsill.

Step 3 – Germination: Varies by species (2–6 weeks). Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

Step 4 – Pot Up: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transfer to the glazed ceramic pot filled with the remaining coir soil. Add slate chippings on top for a finished look.

Top Tips for Best Results

• Use the included growing guide to learn about pruning, shaping and wiring your trees over time.
• Place in bright, indirect light. Bonsai grow best with consistent warmth and light.
• Patience pays off! Bonsai trees grow slowly and reward you with long-term structure and beauty.

Why We Love It

This is more than a gift – it’s a calming project that grows. The variety of species means year-round colour and texture, from evergreen structure to spring flowers and autumn foliage. A great introduction to bonsai for creative gardeners of all ages.
