Extremely fast packing and shipping. Tree carefully wrapped. Ficus looked great on first arrival, and still does a month later.

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.

I sent this as a gift, and it arrived with lightening speed, in perfect condition. The only negative was that my recipient mentioned there was no tray under the plant,and usually plants come on a decent little tray. A detail, but you need to know when ordering. Otherwise we both very happy with the plant. I would definitely order more plants from Amazon 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.

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
