Thank you so much, Margaret! We’re delighted you loved your petite and cute bonsai 😊
We’re also really pleased to hear the delivery updates were helpful and that your tree arrived safely. Thank you for your lovely review and support 🌿
Ordered a bonsai pot and drip tray
Ordered a bonsai pot and drip tray. Both are really poor quality. For £40 you've sold me a bonsai pot no thicker than slate. It's as light as a feather. Send me details of how to send this back to you. No use to me. I will not be buying anything from here again.
Updated
There's absolutely no suggestion of details you have gone into in these emails you keep sending me. Within the space of 15 minutes I've had 3 emails asking me to review the pot so there it is.
To suggest the images, in your emails to myself, have cracks in the pots are obscene. You clearly fail to mention that these pots are featherweight in design yet I've provided you with an image of what a bonsai pot requirements should be and was completely dismissed. Furthermore, I won't be taking the review down. I have purchased another pot from a reputable seller for half the price and is far superior in quality. This is to warn future buyers of a potential purchase.
I also neglected to mention. If your firing process is constructed in such a refined and professional manner. Why does my pot, purchased from yourselves, have jagged razor like points on the edges? Photos sent.
Updated again.
5 updates?. As if I have time to argue with your mundane comments.
You won't respond to the images I sent you of razor sharp fragments on the pot you sold me. Just comments on this review asking me to take my review down.
You have no idea of the material used nor firing process. You've admitted this as you've stated you source your products from elsewhere.
Updated
No response.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed with your order.
We did respond when you reached out, requesting photos so we could take a closer look, but you haven't included these in your response. We have since requested photos again but we haven’t received a response yet. If you’re able to send these over, it would really help us assess the situation properly.
That said, the pot supplied is a premium bonsai pot, and they are intentionally made to be relatively thin but they are of excellent quality. This is standard in bonsai cultivation, allowing for proper drainage, root health and balance. We’ve been growing and supplying bonsai commercially for many years using these exact types of pots - we have never had a complaint about them or had an issue using them ourselves.
Of course, if the item isn’t suitable for your needs, we’re more than happy to accept your return. We’ll provide full return instructions upon your response.
We appreciate your feedback and hope we can resolve this for you.
Kind regards,
Bonsai Direct.
Update from having seen the images:
Thank you for your further feedback. Having now seen the bonsai pots you were previously using, we believe there may simply have been a misunderstanding regarding the style and quality of the pot supplied.
The pots you had before were a thicker, more standard chunky style of bonsai pot. These were standard pots. In contrast, the pot and matching drip tray we supplied are a more refined, higher-grade ceramic bonsai pot designed in a traditional style. Premium bonsai ceramics are often made thinner and lighter intentionally, as this reflects a higher quality finish and craftsmanship rather than lower quality.
A good comparison would be ceramic mugs or plates — finer, thinner ceramics are generally considered more premium and are often more expensive than thicker, heavier alternatives. The same applies to quality bonsai pottery.
We have used and supplied these pots for many years within our own bonsai nursery and have found them to be excellent quality both aesthetically and practically for bonsai cultivation.
Of course, we completely understand that personal preference plays a part, and if the style was not what you expected, you are welcome to return it. The pot received is exactly as per the photograph.
We would kindly ask if you would consider updating or removing your review, as we genuinely feel this situation stems from a misunderstanding about the type and quality of traditional bonsai ceramics supplied.
Kind regards,
Bonsai Direct
Update
Thank you for your feedback.
The review request emails are sent automatically by our system and are generated per item ordered.
Please also note that we do not manufacture the pots or trays ourselves. We purchase them from a reputable UK wholesaler, and our pricing reflects the cost we paid for the products. As mentioned previously, you are very welcome to return the pot together with the supplied accessories for a full refund if you remain unhappy with the item.
Kind regards,
The Bonsai Direct Team
We have had 5 updates this morning concerning this via Trustpilot and I cannot follow the thread. Some of the information you are removing so there is no logical trail.
Poor customer service.
My son bought me a flowering cherry for Mothers Day. On arrival it didn't look too healthy but perked up a bit on the window sill after I fed and watered it as per instructions. However it soon died off. Contacted company and they didn't want to know because they said as it was an outside bonsai it should have been outside. Their instructions said protect from frost, which I felt I did by keeping it indoors for a week or so, during which time there were frosty nights. Very disappointed in their response and felt they should have replaced it.

Dear Bonita,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
I am sorry that you are disappointed with our customer service. We have tried very hard to help you, but unfortunately we are unable to replace bonsai that have not been cared for as per our guidance. The bonsai that you were gifted is a deciduous outdoor variety, which cannot be kept inside. We try to make it as clear as possible on our product description and care guide which you received with the tree. We suggest protecting the bonsai from long periods of harsh frosts to ensure they do not dry out, but we have never said it should be kept indoors.
Being a deciduous variety, the bonsai was just coming into leaf when you received it. We thoroughly check all of our bonsai before dispatching them to ensure they are perfectly healthy. When you received yours, it would have just been finishing flowering and beginning to leaf up. We understand that this may not look amazing when you receive it, but the magic was just starting.
We have tried our very best to offer you help and advice, and our bonsai expert responded to all of your questions as quickly as possible with a multitude of advice and guidance. We feel that it is unfair to say that ‘we did not want to know’ after spending so much time trying to help you get the most from your bonsai. We understand that it can be disappointing to lose a bonsai, but unfortunately we are unable to replace a bonsai that has not been cared for correctly, as per our T&Cs. As a family run business with a passion for growing bonsai, we want all of our customers to get the most out of their bonsai, and we really do try and help. We really hope that you will continue exploring the world of bonsai.
Kindest regards,
Bonsai Direct

Thank you for the wonderful review, Darren. We’re delighted to hear that you love your bonsai and that it arrived safely and well protected.
Although the delivery delay was outside our control, we’re really pleased the tree reached you in good condition and ready to enjoy. We water the bonsai well before dispatch and they are in the dark so transpiration is minimal. It’s great to know you’re looking forward to caring for it over the coming years — that’s one of the most rewarding parts of bonsai.
We truly appreciate you choosing Bonsai Direct and we’re always here if you need accessories, advice, or help as your bonsai journey continues.

So Happy
I have just received my Bonsai order from Bonsai Direct and I couldn’t be more pleased. I ordered what they call their perfectly imperfect Bonsai’s (their equivalent to Wonky Veg), these two trees are 8yrs old and have been well cared for, they’re a beautiful shape and have exceeded all my expectations. The pack contained a lovely Chinese Elm with a knotty bent trunk and loaded with lovely green leaves and a cute little Fukien Tea Tree with a twisted S shaped trunk and tiny little flower buds waiting to pop open on top of strong lush leaves. They arrived by next day delivery at no extra cost and they were so well packed they would never have come to any harm. I will have no hesitation in ordering from this company again and will happily recommend to friends and family or anyone that is interested in ordering a tree as a beginner or professional, in my opinion Bonsai Direct deserve 5*

Hi Dee,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed 5-star review. We are genuinely delighted to hear how pleased you are with your Perfectly Imperfect bonsai.
It is wonderful to know that both the Chinese Elm and the Fukien Tea exceeded your expectations, and that you appreciated their character, age, and individual shapes. Those knotty trunks, gentle twists, and emerging flower buds are exactly what make each tree unique, and we are glad they have found a home where they are truly valued.
We are also pleased that the free next-day delivery and careful packaging gave you complete confidence that your trees would arrive safely. Providing healthy, well-cared-for bonsai and a smooth, reliable delivery experience is something we take great pride in.
Thank you again for your recommendation and kind words. Your support means a great deal to our family-run nursery, and we very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

First ever Bonsai tree!!!
I have just received my first ever Bonsai tree and she is stunning! Oh my gosh, wow!
I'm fairly good at looking after plants, but I have never had to take care of a little tree that is already 8 years old! I do hope the little lady will thrive and grow under my care.
I also purchased a watering can, fertilizer, mist, and a ceramic tray over a plastic plate, for aesthetic purposes. Everything came in a sturdy box, was well-packaged and was good value for money.
Thank you, Bonsai Direct.
And a massive thank you to the lady I spoke with today via telephone (sorry I didn't ask for your name); she was so helpful and knowledgeable and she said that I could ring any time if I have any questions.
A great company and a wonderful experience. x
