A Characterful Bonsai with Elegant Natural Styling

At the heart of this kit sits a striking 8-year-old Chinese Sweet Plum (Sageretia theezans) bonsai, admired for its fine twiggy structure, glossy foliage and naturally balanced form. New growth emerges with a soft blush-red tone before maturing into fresh lime and deep emerald green leaves, creating gentle seasonal contrast.

“The Chinese Sweet Plum is one of my favourite indoor bonsai,” says Holly. “It has such a delicate, refined look, yet it’s wonderfully forgiving. The way the foliage changes colour as it matures makes it incredibly rewarding to grow, especially for beginners.”

Essential Accessories for a Thriving Bonsai

This offer focuses on the full growing experience, not just the tree. Every element in the kit supports confident care from day one:

✔️ Drip Tray – Designed to catch excess water, protect furniture and help maintain suitable humidity around the bonsai. “It’s a small addition, but it makes everyday care much easier,” Holly explains.

✔️ Concentrated Bonsai Fertiliser (100ml) – A carefully balanced formula that lasts up to a year, supplying essential nutrients to encourage healthy growth, rich foliage and flowering. “Feeding regularly makes a huge difference,” says Holly. “This fertiliser supports steady growth without overwhelming the tree.”

✔️ Bonsai Pruning Scissors – A precise, easy-to-use tool that allows you to shape your bonsai accurately. Regular trimming encourages finer branching and keeps the tree compact and elegant.

✔️ Bonsai Direct Care Handbook – A comprehensive printed guide filled with clear, professional advice on watering, pruning and positioning. “Even complete beginners feel confident once they have this handbook,” Holly reassures.

A Fantastic Starter Kit at Outstanding Value

With free next working day delivery available to most UK addresses, you can begin enjoying your bonsai almost immediately. Alternatively, you may select a preferred delivery date, making this kit an excellent gift option.

“This is one of the best value starter kits we offer,” Holly adds. “You receive a beautiful, mature Chinese Sweet Plum bonsai along with the right tools and guidance to care for it properly. Whether you are buying for yourself or as a gift, it is a simple and affordable way to bring living artistry into the home.”

Bonsai expert Holly literally grew up with a pair of bonsai scissors in her hand. As Lloyd’s eldest daughter, Holly has benefitted from growing up on the nursery. Despite being in her early twenties, Holly already has many years of bonsai experience under her belt. She is passionate about the environment and environmental issues and wants to continue the journey her parents have started.
