Brussel's Golden Gate Ficus Indoor Bonsai Tree October 30, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Remarkably, the plant arrived in excellent condition, solidly packed, and healthy. It has thrived in limited light and with a cavalier attitude towards watering. The care instructions recommended using an overflow bowl to retain water, but none was included with the product, and I couldn't locate one that was compatable with the attractive pot in which it was planted. I wound up having to repot the tree in order to comply with the instructions
very fast delivery ! October 9, 2006

this tree arrived VERY quickly (in 3 days). it was very well packed, only one little leaf fell off during shipping; the soil was still moist when i received it. we've had it for 3 weeks now and it's doing well (we've never been able to keep a plant alive for more than a few months, so we're keeping our fingers crossed). you'll definitely need to buy a little tray for underneath the tree.
the only reason i gave it 4 stars is...i'd like to see slightly better "care instructions".
overall, i'm very happy, would definitely order again.

This is the first time I've ordered from Brussel's and I have to say I'm a little leary about ordering from them again. My experience wasn't all bad. The tree was cheap and came promptly. Also it appears to be quite healthy and was well packed. However, while this might be a good starter tree for someone just learning how to keep a bonsai alive, it isn't a good option for someone who is a more developed bonsai enthusiast.
First the tree I got is somewhat mishapen. The trunk is poorly proportioned (being thick on the bottom and the top and narrow in the center). It is also twisted in an rather unaethestically pleasing manner and has terrible wiring scars. Also when it arrived it was a little hacked up. It seemed that someone might have tried to prune it blindfolded.
Indeed, the tree is so ugly that next spring I might just cut off the top third of the tree I received try to get it to root and discard the rest.
If you're in for a big project and want to start a new tree for cheap, this is definitely an option. Howevever, one shouldn't expect to get a tree that's ready to grow into a prize winning bonsai without a whole heap of TLC for less than $30.

I have had this tree for 3 months and it is still alive! Get a spray bottle to water. They love light. It should be watered everyday, I get to it maybe every 3 and it is fine.

Brussel's is great for packaging the trees so well. The service is also very fast. This is the third tree I have bought from them. It arrived in great condition, not a leaf out of place. It is sooooo pretty. I can't wait for my next order to arrive!!
