Our physical store is located at 3 Muscat Lane South, Nova Constantia in Cape Town and we welcome visitors during our trading hours. You are also welcome to visit outside our trading hours by setting up an appointment telephonically.
We offer beginner’s bonsai courses and workshops. These can be purchased here. They are very popular so please book timeously to avoid disappointment. Follow our social media and blog for updates.
Please bring your tree in for free advice, try and bring it as soon as possible as we can often help an ailing bonsai. Do not repot or fertilise a sick bonsai. Ask for help before it’s too late.
Sunlight requirements vary from species to species. We suggest that each tree gets at least 3-4 hours direct sunlight per day, this will ensure your tree remains healthy. Morning sun is preferable.
Repotting and styling are integral to maintaining a healthy tree. We encourage bonsai growers to maintain their own trees, but we can assist where necessary. Please bring your tree to our nursery, based in Constantia, during our trading hours for further advice or care. If we cannot do it while you wait you will need to leave it with us for a few days so that we can repot, trim and give your tree the necessary care it needs.
