Know before you buy
The 13-inch tray serves two main functions: it catches excess water to protect your furniture surfaces and creates a micro-climate around the tree to combat the dry air often found in indoor environments.
The concentrated formula is highly efficient; when mixed according to the instructions, the 8 oz. bottle yields up to 180 gallons of nutrient solution, which will last most hobbyists for a significant amount of time.
Yes, the kit includes the '101 Essential Tips for the Care of Bonsai' book, which is specifically curated to help beginners understand the fundamental needs of their trees, such as watering, pruning, and light requirements.
While the humidity tray is particularly beneficial for indoor climate control, the nutrient formula and care guide are perfectly suitable for both indoor and outdoor bonsai cultivation.
The rocks are primarily for aesthetic appeal, helping to create a natural, finished look for your display. However, they also help keep the humidity tray stable and provide a base for the pot to sit on, which prevents the bottom of the pot from sitting directly in standing water.
