Question 1

Why do some bonsai trees cost more than others?

Accepted Answer

The price of each bonsai reflects its age, species, styling complexity, and the time invested in its care. Older trees or those with rare characteristics often require years of skilled cultivation to achieve their shape and balance. Think of it like art — each bonsai is a living sculpture, and the value comes from both nature’s beauty and the craftsmanship behind it.

Question 2

How do I choose the right bonsai for me?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a bonsai depends on your experience level and lifestyle.
 • Beginners: We recommend hardy, low-maintenance species like Chinese Elm or Juniper that adapt well to different conditions.
 • Intermediate enthusiasts: Try species such as Ficus or Azalea, which offer more creative pruning and styling options.
 • Advanced growers: Consider pines, maples, or advanced specimens that demand more attention and technique.
If you’re unsure, contact us — we’ll help you find a tree that matches both your skill and your space.

Question 3

Why do prices vary for similar bonsai?

Accepted Answer

Bonsai value reflects several factors including current health, age, trunk thickness, branch structure, pot quality and how refined the styling is, so trees of similar size can be priced differently.​
A well-kept bonsai that has been shaped thoughtfully over years usually commands a higher price than a younger or less-developed tree, even within the same species.​

Question 4

Why is each bonsai unique?

Accepted Answer

Each bonsai has its own trunk movement, branch structure, foliage density and overall “personality,” shaped by years of selective pruning and care, so no two trees are ever exactly the same.​
Even when trees are the same species and size, differences in scars, taper, nebari (surface roots) and pot choice create a one-of-a-kind living artwork for every customer.​

Question 5

Will my bonsai appreciate or depreciate in value over time?

Accepted Answer

With good care and regular refinement, most bonsai will appreciate in value as the trunk thickens, the branching becomes more mature, and the overall image looks older and more natural.​
Neglect, poor health, or loss of key branches can reduce a bonsai’s value, so consistent watering, feeding, and styling are important if you want your tree to grow as both a living companion and an asset.​

Question 6

How should I care for my new bonsai?

Accepted Answer

Each species has specific light, water, and pruning needs. We provide a care guide with every bonsai to help you get started confidently. Consistent care and observation are key — small daily attention makes a big difference.

Question 7

Do bonsai trees need to stay outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Some species thrive indoors with plenty of indirect light, while others prefer fresh air and natural sunlight. Check the product description for guidance — we always indicate whether a tree is suited for indoor or outdoor conditions.

Question 8

How often should I water my bonsai?

Accepted Answer

There’s no one-size-fits-all schedule. Water when the soil starts to feel slightly dry, and avoid letting it completely dry out. It’s better to check your tree daily, as temperature and humidity changes can affect how quickly soil dries.

Question 9

Can I give a bonsai as a gift?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Bonsai trees make thoughtful, long-lasting gifts. We can even include a personalized message or beginner-friendly care instructions so your recipient feels confident looking after it.

Question 10

Can I exchange or return my bonsai?

Accepted Answer

Because bonsais are living plants, returns depend on the tree’s condition at the time of return. We handle each request with care to ensure the well-being of the plant. We also offer a buy-back program — if you ever decide to part with your bonsai, we may purchase it back at a discounted rate based on health and age. Reach out to us for details before sending a tree back.

Question 11

Do you offer workshops or ongoing care support?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We regularly host care workshops and offer maintenance services to keep your bonsai thriving. Whether you’re just starting or refining your technique, we’re here to help every step of the way.
