What’s in the Kit
| Dwarf Hinoki Cypress (Premium Pre-bonsai) Slow-growing, naturally compact, with soft fan-shaped foliage. | Ceramic Bonsai Pot (Your Choice) Kiln-fired, drainage-ready, sized for healthy root development—more than just looks. | Premium Bonsai Soil Free-draining, oxygen-rich blend that supports strong, fine root growth. |
| Mesh & Wire Set (24" total) Real bonsai-grade aluminum wire (not craft wire), with proper gauge for anchoring roots and light branch styling. | Essential Tools Shears, chopstick, and a root rake/tweezer combo for shaping and working the soil with confidence. | Fertilizer Basket + Starter Fertilizer Easy, consistent feeding through the growing season. |
| Printed Bonsai Survival Guide Friendly, illustrated instructions plus a seasonal care roadmap. | Downloadable Repotting Guide Step-by-step digital instructions designed to help new bonsai students repot confidently when the time is right. | Nursery-Curated Components & Support Professional-grade parts and clear guidance so your tree thrives from day one. |
This is a true hands-on experience, not just a box of parts—you’ll learn to position, secure, style, and care for your tree at the right time of year so it thrives for seasons to come.
Important: This is an outdoor bonsai. Conifers need fresh air and a winter dormancy to stay healthy.

Care Guide: Dwarf Hinoki Cypress Care
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
