Patience is key and lots of research
I’ll try to update when I have a more bonsái looking tree but for now I’ll share my experience so far. The sowing of the seeds is pretty straight forward however I do think the royal seed needs more info. Within the first week I saw the Rocky Mountain pine sprout then the blue j seeds sprouted and 3 weeks passed and the other two nothing. I had done a lot of research through out this time and decided I’d try to help my other two seeds to sprout. I read that the royal seeds can be hard for sprouts to sprout because of its tough skin and need to be scored to help the sprout push it’s way out. So I took them all out found one was already sprouting and had an inch of root already grown but the seed skin was to heavy for it to push it up so I fixed that one and scored the rest and reburied them laying flat not to deep in soil and waited. One week later I had two new sprouts for a total of 3. The others were duds. I tried helping the Norway spruce but they are nowhere to be found in the soil I didn’t sow them deep I followed instructions did some more research on top of what the booklet info had but it seems like all the Norway spruce seeds were duds. Which sucks but 3/4 isn’t so bad. The blue and rocky so easily sprouted it was exciting to see. The royal just needed a little extra help but also exciting. It actually feels therapeutic to troubleshoot the trees and to check on them daily make sure they are fine gently fix them or move them when necessary. I bought a little sun light strip and they are currently located indoors on an empty shelf with the sun light strip above them on the lowest setting for 12 hrs a day I don’t water them to often because they aren’t in proper pots. Overall good deal I don’t think the kit is expensive for what you get.Moving on to the consOnly 3/4 seeds sproutedNorway spruce never germinated and they seem to have disappeared.The booklet has very little helpful info your better off going on google and YouTube.The coco soil stuff keeps growing some type of mold fuzz on top like white fuzz sometimes turning into bluish greenish fuzz if you leave it. I’m not overwatering them I let the soil start to dry before even watering them again and I don’t give them a lot of water when I do.The burlap style pot isn’t very good for this use. It isn’t leaking fluid but I can feel the outside of it is moist more so on the bottom.The burlap pots don’t offer good drainage which is very much needed for these trees. While pretty I would have much preferred some cheap plastic pots with drainage at the bottom.My guess is maybe that’s why the fuzz starts to grow. Maybe it has to do with the coco I’m not sure. I think they could probably change out the types of pots for cheap plastic drainage friendly ones.Overall tho not bad for the price I did get it with a coupon I think it was 12-15 in total. I will not however give it 4-5 stars because of the dud seeds and the fuzz that myself and others have experienced growing on the top of their soil and because of the non conducive pot as well as the booklet they count as an add on bonus that lacks info on bonsai practice and the seeds and even the basics on how and when to cut your tree sprout to start the bonsai process because if you just plant this and keep repotting this eventually you’ll have a normal sized tree thinking it’s somehow supposed to stay small and be a cool mini tree because you were sold bonsai tree seeds. Anyways I hope this info helps I’ll update pictures whenever I remember to on this review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two of Four sprouted!
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2021
Easy steps to follow and great for beginners. After almost 6 weeks, only 2 of the 4 trees sprouted. I believe the time frame for most of these trees were 3-6 weeks depending on the species. I’m a little disappointed neither of the two colorful trees sprouted. However, prior to planting them, there were instructions to submerge them in water and only plant the ones that sunk to the bottom. All of my stayed afloat unless poked down, with the exception of the Royal poinciana (that one was just bigger and sunk immediately after being placed into the water). I planted all the seeds according to the instructions whether they floated or sunk because most of mine stayed afloat. So I probably planted a few unviable seeds.
Regardless of 2 not sprouting, I am still having a great time with the pine and spruce trees that did.
It’s important to remember that you are buying a product to help you grow a bonsai tree from seeds. A fully grown bonsai takes decades to grow. However, Planters Choice gives you all the tools you need to be start off in the beginning stages. There are still many other variables that go into the process of growing these trees from the seed. And so many other steps to take once your tree starts to mature.
