I got this gardenia bonsai in mid-February and it is not as I expected. Upon opening the package, the leaves are dull green, no buds, dried out and mostly dark brown. I followed the instruction and even did some research work through the internet. I even bought extra stuffs like plant food, cool mist humidifier just to revive the plant. Well now, after 3 weeks, 90% of the leaves are gone, branches bare, looks like those bare trees that you see during winter. I tried to contact the merchant and ask for advise, but I did not get any response. I have other bonsais and regular gardenias that are healthy and I really wanted this gardenia bonsai so bad.

I ordered this plant and I can't even beleive you're allowed to lie like this and get away with it. The item description clearly states that the plant is supposed to be a 4yr old that is 8 inches high and in a 10 inch pot. This is not my plant at all, its about 6 inches if that and in a 6.5 inch pot. I can't beleive I paid $32 for this plant. There is no one to get in contact with to return it or ask WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! I don't understand why you say you will give a plant that is completely different from what I received. I am very unsatisfied with my plant and even more with your bad service, no one anwsers my emails or questions. If anyone can help me, my email is chanteldionne@hotmail.com

I'm always hesitant to write a negative review because tastes are different but with this product I felt I had a duty to alert consumers. I bought this and out of the box it was pretty until I looked close and found it was infested with tiny white bugs that clung to nearly every branch and leaf. I hoped they would die on their own but after three weeks they were still there and the plant itself had started to die. I bought plant insect spray and they killed the bugs. The plant died two weeks later. I was very disappointed since I'd always wanted a bonsai tree and gardenia is my favorite scent.

Not sure if the plant is going to survive, The pot was broken when we opened the box yet the shipping box showed no signs of damage. I can't find out how to return it either since it is a plant - these independent Amazon merchants make returns difficult : ( So much for this present.

I should have heeded the warnings of the previous reviewers.

Ordering in plenty of time for the shipment to arrive, I was informed upon payment that the plant would be delivered by Mother's Day, but after placing the order, I see that it will take at least 3 weeks (2 weeks *after* Mother's Day!) AND there is NO OPTION TO CANCEL MY ORDER.

Trying to reach Amazon is next to impossible.

I could not be more dissatisfied.

The bonsai was packed well and looked great out of the box. It shed a lot of leaves about a week after arriving, giving us a scare, but new leaves are now sprouting out all over the place. It's healthy and growing.

Positive: Gardenia Bonsai arrived in good shape and packaged well.
Negative: Did not look like a Bonsai at all, they advertise they are suppose to be 4 yrs old?? Mine looked like a normal Gardenia bush that was pruned way back and stuck in a small pot. I plan on returning it, my wife was disappointed because it was a christmas gift for her!

I ordered this bonsai tree for my daughter-in-law because she listed it on her Amazon wish list as "highest" for this Christmas 2005. The order came in record time, three weeks before Christmas so I set about babying the tree each day by following all of the directions to a tee! I sprayed it and watered it exactly as the directions stated and I placed it in a sunny well lighted area and the temperature in our condo was never below 65 degrees and that was only at night while we slept. Nonetheless, after two weeks, still a week before Christmas, the leaves began to curl, turn splotchy and fall off. I was very sad about this because the tree had looked wonderful when it arrived and it was very well packed. But, by the time Christmas Eve arrived it had only about half of its original leaves. We are now waiting to see if the tree does better at my daughter-in-law's home since she is very happy to have it and she'd love to keep it...she is going to try to nurture it into a healthy life. We'll see... M. Buchanan

I reviewed some of the comments from others about broken branches, and dead leaves. I was very worried what I would get but my tree arrived in one piece no broken branches and beautiful. I love the bonsai I have only had it about 2 weeks and already I have a ton of buds on it which should be blooming in the next week. This was a great buy for the price!!

So i ordered this gardenia and its gorgeous. Ive had it now for a couple of weeks and i leave it in my window. The sun form this is enough to feed it , along with some water everyday. Very healthy plant and a very healthy idea. Great guy to buy from....call Lou.
