Book Reviews of Mini Bonsai Kit
Book Review: Not terrible, but not really a bonsai
Summary: 3 Stars
I was bored one day and spotted this in a bookstore at the mall, and figured I'd try it. After purchasing, I've realized there is little to no research on Jack Pine bonsai, because they really don't make great bonsai. Growing a tree from a seed is very difficult, but I have patience and hope it will work. First bit of advice--cold stratify the seeds longer than a week. Remember that this process is supposed to simulate winter, and 7 days is not enough to "trick" the seeds. I left all five seeds that came with the kit in the fridge for about a month, and 3 more weeks or so after planting them in the peat pellet, I have two sprouts. They are only about half an inch tall so far, but it is encouraging. We'll see how it goes.
Summary of Mini Bonsai Kit
With this kit, complete with a 32page book explaining bonsai gardening, an instruction sheet, a small pot, a peat pellet, a packet of seeds, and a pair of scissors, indoor gardeners can grow a peaceful mini-garden anywhere they choose. Whether it's on a desk or in a kitchen, this little bit of greenery will brighten up the day-just add water! Also available in a full-size kit
