Product Overview

I recently had the great pleasure of trying out the Planters Choice Starter Kit, and it was an amazing experience. This kit comes with everything you need to start your own indoor bonsai tree garden four different types of seeds Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine, Black Poui, Norway Spruce, and Flame Tree , four burlap growing pots, one expanding soil disc, four bamboo plant markers, one bonsai clipper and a beautiful, comprehensive and simple instruction booklet.

I love that this kit is designed for both beginners and experts alike. The instructions are easy to follow and the booklet is comprehensive and beautifully designed so that you can follow along on the journey of each seed, its history, and the best way to plant it to ensure it germinates. Its also great that the seeds come in seed safe packets for proper germination. Plus, all four trees can be planted and kept both indoors and outdoors at any time of the year, with no stratification needed for any of the seeds.

Furthermore, I think this kit would make a great gift for anyone looking to get into gardening or bonsai tree growing. Its perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, housewarming or any other occasion! The excitement in their eyes as they experience growing indoor bonsai trees will be priceless!

The only thing I would like to see changed about this product is that it could come with more detailed information about caring for each type of seed. Even though there is some general information included in the booklet, it would be nice if there were more detailed instructions on how to care for each seed specifically.

Overall I am very pleased with my experience using the Planters Choice Starter Kit. It was easy to use and provided me with everything I needed to create my own bonsai tree garden in no time. The instructions were clear and helpful, making it perfect for both beginners and experts alike. I highly recommend this product as a great way to bring the joy of growing bonsai into your or a loved ones life!
