Growing in 5 steps:

1. Soak seeds in lukewarm water for a few hours so the seed coat opens.
2. Let the coconut soil tablet expand in water until it reaches 450 ml and has fully absorbed the water.
3. Place seeds on the moist growing soil – don't push them in too deep.
4. Close the lid and place in a bright, warm spot (20–25 °C) without direct midday sun.
5. Optionally pierce holes in the bottom of the mini greenhouse later and use the inner shell as a saucer.

Care notes after germination:

Once the first seedlings appear, briefly air the lid every hour or so to prevent mould. The mini greenhouse remains the ideal spot until the plant is around 5–10 cm tall. Then carefully transfer the young bonsai to a larger bonsai pot with good drainage. African Wisteria loves a bright location, regular but moderate watering and gentle shape correction by pruning from the second year onwards.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions:

How long does germination take?
Under optimal conditions (20–25 °C, warm and humid microclimate) the first seedlings appear after 1–5 weeks. Patience is part of the bonsai art.

Is African Wisteria suitable for beginners?
Yes. Bolusanthus speciosus is low-maintenance, robust and an excellent choice for bonsai beginners. The detailed instructions and free e-book guide you step by step.

Where should I place the mini greenhouse?
Bright, but not in direct sun. A windowsill at 20–25 °C is ideal. Avoid direct midday sun – the microclimate can otherwise overheat.

When do I need to repot?
Once the plant is 5–10 cm tall and has solid roots (usually after 2–3 months) you can transfer it to a larger bonsai pot. Don't repot too early.

How do I water correctly?
During germination keep the substrate evenly moist but not soaked. Later, once the bonsai has grown: water less often but thoroughly.

Does the set make a good gift?
Definitely – the beautifully designed packaging and the included e-book make this set the perfect gift for plant lovers, birthdays or Christmas.
