Great little kit. Excellent value. I had so many bonsais grow that I ended up buying more of the plastic pots and potting soil, and just those alone came to $27. So, $30 for this whole kit is a great deal. After reading the instructions I decided to buy a germination kit, which was about $90. I think really though if you had a window to put the pots in front of you would probably just want to get at least a heating pad, which is like $20. But ended up with 16 bonsais that seem to be doing well after just 2 weeks. Some of them were sprouting after 2 days. Planted 6 of the 7 different types. Had success with 4 of the 6. 1 type almost looked like it was just dirt, I tried putting it in some of the cells any way after soaking in water and nothing happened. The purple wisteria ones were weird in the water, some white stuff came out. And in the soil they look like they're just molding or something, not sure. Will give them a little more time, might do a little more research into them and try again. And the Japanese Maples require cold stratifying, going to try those next. But all others got quite a few out of!
Only one thing I thought would be helpful is some additional info beyond growing the seeds, even just recommending some books or online resources. There's nothing for like growing them beyond this point. Although, that's pretty complex, so I understand. I bought a couple of bonsai books to help guide in growing them past this point.
Not sure if this would make a great gift. It's kind of a commitment and a bit of work. But great for starting a new hobby, I think.

Great value, grew a bunch of little bonsais

First of all, the kit is high quality from top to bottom. The soil is rich and nutrient-dense, the pots are sturdy and well-made, and the little bonsai tools are adorable (and surprisingly effective). It's like having your own personal bonsai nursery right in your home.
But the real magic happened when I planted the seeds, followed the extremely comprehensive and well-written guidebook's first few pages, and waited. And let me tell you, I didn't have to wait long. Within only a week and a half, I was already seeing a beautiful sprout breaking through the soil (see my attached photo). I was like a proud parent watching my little bonsai baby grow.
And can we talk about the seven different bonsai tree seeds that are included in the kit? It's like a little bonsai forest in a box. And the best part? They actually grow! Unlike the low-quality bonsai kit I bought in the past that never worked (seriously, I don't want to talk about that one), this one actually produced a real, live, beautiful bonsai tree, and this is only one out of seven with a generous amount of seeds to spare!
In short, this particular Bonsai Starter Kit is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to try their hand at bonsai growing. It's easy to use, high quality, and actually produces results. Plus, it's just plain fun to watch your little trees grow and flourish as you notice little developments each day. And let's not forget the surprise of seeing just how fast a beautiful sprout breaks through the soil. It's like nature's little joke - you think you have to wait weeks before something substantial will happen, but then BAM! Nearly instant gratification in only a few days. So go ahead, and give it a try. If you want to get into bonsai as a beginner, stop browsing, and buy this product. Final Rating: 10.0/10.0
I was skeptical, but please, stop browsing and buy this if you want a Bonsai Tree.

Let me tell you, this "REALPETALED" brand Bonsai Starter Kit is the real deal. As someone who has killed more plants than I care to admit, I was skeptical about the whole bonsai thing, especially after how negative of an experience my only prior attempt at bonsai was. But this kit exceeded all my expectations.Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2023
