Delivery
bonsai in box

How long is the bonsai okay in the box?

All bonsai are soaked prior to dispatch to ensure that the do not dry out during transit. In our experience, this means the bonsai should be fine in the box for 3-4 days after delivery.

However, we strongly advise to check that all items are in perfect condition upon delivery, and to notify us as soon ad possible of any issues.

Bear in mind that some varieties may be able to cope for longer / shorter periods. The time of year can also affect the bonsai condition when kept in the box. For example when it’s hot, even though the bonsai is in the dark (which reduces the rate of transpiration), it will require water more quickly than in cooler periods.

We regret that we are unable to refund or exchange any bonsai after 7 days of delivery. This is because they are live plants and we find that after this time they have been out of our care for too long.
However, we are always here to help; if you have any questions about your bonsai, please send us some photos. Thank you for your understanding.
