How To Tell The Difference Between Good And Bad Bonsai Stores

Generally speaking, I don’t like to brag much.  I’m a bit of a modest person, so writing this email is making me feel a bit weird, even though the things I’m about to say are true.

But this little hobby of mine has morphed into a full fledged business with employees, operations, taxes, and all sorts of things I didn’t think I’d have to deal with — so I have to make sure the lights stay on!

That means I have to brag every now and again about how great this whole thing is.

All in all, I’m pretty lucky that I get to be surrounded by so much living art all day long.

And that’s entirely your doing.

By reading and sharing my articles…

By liking and sharing my instagram posts…

By shopping in my bonsai store…

You’ve helped make this dream a reality.

That’s why I respond to every single email that you send me.

It’s why I spend hours helping people all over the world find and purchase their dream bonsai tree, even if we don’t sell it.

It’s also why I feel so obligated to provided you with the best of all things bonsai.

The best content.

The best advice.

The best help.

The best supplies.

And most importantly, the best trees available on the whole internet.

So with that in mind, here are a few ways that Love My Bonsai is different from other places that sell bonsai trees and supplies.

1. We don’t sell any supplies that you don’t need.

I’ve never seen a store that didn’t sell every single bonsai thing there was.  Even if you don’t need all of that stuff.

Not in my store.

We only sell the tools that you need.  No waste.

2. I (Steve) personally test all these supplies before they make it into my store.

We don’t sell anything that I’m not currently using, or wouldn’t use if I needed it, in my own home setup.

3. We have the best bonsai soil around.

Period.  It’s really not easy to make a good bonsai soil, and it’s even harder to ship it.

But we do both very well.

4. We hand crafted a soil specifically for shipping trees.

This is so they can go for longer without water, and be easily repotted when the time comes.

I can’t name a single store that does this, besides ours.

5. Our trees are incredible.

The trees come from the best nurseries all over the country, including our own, and we turn only the best of them into beautiful bonsai trees.

And we collect interesting trees from nature, and turn them into bonsai trees too.

6. We offer free shipping.

It’s pretty simple:  If you spend over $25, you have free shipping.

7. And hassle free returns.

If there’s a problem with your order, we’ll fix it.

If you don’t like your tree, we’ll take it back.

8. We offer in-depth bonsai training.

Our articles and premium videos go way beyond care generic sheets.

9. And still, our care sheets are better.

Even our care sheets are specific to the exact tree you’re buying.  And, they’re not overloaded with confusing stuff just to prove that we know a thing or two about bonsai trees.

10. We’ll hold your tree if there’s a storm a comin’

If there’s a storm, or deep freeze, or nasty heat wave anywhere from our nursery to your front door, we’ll hold the tree until it passes.

This ensures the tree is alive and well when you get it, and not dying in the back of a truck somewhere on the way.

11. Or, if you want us to.

Bonsai trees are amazing gifts.

People love them.  Your people probably will too.

Clients, friends and family.

So you can order a bonsai tree today, and tell us to ship it next week.  Or hold it and ship it next month.  Whatever works for you, works for us.

And while I’ve given bonsai trees away as corporate gifts, and as birthday gifts, I like to give them as personal gifts. 

Something from me to me.

That’s how this whole thing got started!

So if you’re looking for some bonsai tree’s and bonsai supplies, I ask you to check out my bonsai store with it’s ever growing supply of living art.
