Where will you keep it?

In the sun Part shade Indoors

Where will you keep it?

The choice starts from the exposure, because every species has its own: here is what we recommend for each position.

Sunny balcony or terrace

Olive, wild olive, myrtle, pyracantha, pomegranate and crab apple stay outside all year round. Where it freezes, citrus trees spend the winter somewhere bright and unheated.

Balcony in partial shade

Sichuan pepper and Chinese elm also grow in partial shade. Maple wants a spot sheltered from the wind and, from June to September, shade during the hot hours.

Indoors, near a window

Ficus lives indoors: it wants plenty of light and must never drop below 10 °C.

For beginners

Never had a bonsai? Start here

For beginners who live near the sea we recommend an olive or a wild olive, which cope with summer drought and salty wind and fear standing water more than thirst. In the parcel you'll find the care sheet for your species, with the calendar for the year.

Free it from the packaging. As soon as it arrives remove the bag and ties, because heat and moisture build up under the plastic.
Put it in the right place. The sheet tells you month by month where to keep your species.
Touch the soil before watering. If it's dry, water until it runs out of the holes under the pot; if it's still moist, wait. Then empty the saucer.

Any doubts, even months after buying? Send us a photo on WhatsApp: from a freshly taken picture we can give you a far more reliable opinion than from a description.

Myrtle bonsai outdoors at our bonsai centre

In Giovinazzo since 1983

We have been working with bonsai since 1983, when growing them in Italy interested only a small circle of enthusiasts, and today they are the only plants we deal in, at our premises on the Giovinazzo-Bitonto provincial road.

Bonsai packed in its box, secured with protective material

It arrives protected

The pot is protected to keep the root ball moist and the packaging is secured with protective materials. Every purchase is covered by our Satisfied or Refunded clause.

Before you order

Can it be kept indoors?

For most species no, because indoors, with warm dry air and little light, they weaken and lose their leaves. Ficus is the exception.

Why might it arrive without leaves in winter?

Pomegranate, crab apple and maple lose their leaves in autumn and stay bare until spring, when the buds come back: that is their rest. Elm and Sichuan pepper can do the same in the cold. If you order in these months, the plant may therefore look different from the photo, which was taken in season.

Is the bonsai I receive the one in the photo?

These plants are produced in series: the photo shows a specimen of the same variety and size, and the one you receive will have the same species and the same pot, with the natural differences in shape.

Can I give it as a gift, with a message?

Yes: write the message in the order notes or contact us right after buying, and give the recipient's address. The care sheet in the parcel explains how to look after it, even to someone who has never had a bonsai.

How and when does it arrive?

In Italy, islands included, we ship by GLS express courier in 24/48 hours, plus the preparation days shown on the product. Shipping costs €9, or €14 for slightly larger bonsai. We also ship to the European Union and Switzerland: for these destinations you'll see the cost in your cart before paying.

What if it arrives damaged?

Take a photo as soon as you open the parcel and send it to us straight away: we'll assess the situation and, in the most serious cases, arrange collection and a refund or replacement. A few fallen leaves can happen from the stress of the journey, and in that case we'll tell you what to do.
