The Best Bonsai Starter Kits

Starter kits vary more than they look like they do at a glance — seed variety count, included tools, and presentation quality all differ. Here's how our four compare.

Our picks

  1. Planters' Choice Bonsai Starter Kit — Kit, 5 varieties
    Grow-Your-Own Kits Kit, 5 varieties

    1. Planters' Choice Bonsai Starter Kit

    Five seed species at the lowest price point of our four kits — a solid balance of variety and cost, even though the six-species kit below beats it on raw species count.
