News From The Blog

Bonsai Repotting Adventures

This time of year we are always insanely busy. It gets to the stage where we judge our output each day by weight rather than order numbers. A bad day is currently about 500kg of goods but we have shipped over 1200kg on our better days this year.................

What a Bunch of Tools

So here we are already in the middle of January. I’m finally getting over my Christmas lurgy, my horrible knee sprain is on the mend along with my buggered up pinky and orders are flying out the door to the point we are measuring our output in weight (average 800Kg of goods daily).................

Well That Sucked!

Well that sucked! My long anticipated Christmas holiday that is. When you work from home like we here at Kaizen Bonsai do it’s very difficult to get a real break. Christmas, or as some like to call it now ‘the holidays‘ is one time of the year when we can pull up the drawbridge.................

Ho! Bloody Ho! It’s Christmas!

So, here we are at the end of another year pretty much, just the excesses of Ho! Bloody Ho! It’s Christmas! and new years to endure before we launch into 2024 filled with hopes and dreams.................

Kaizen Bonsai Soil Mixes - SHOHIN SOIL MIX IS BACK!

We are very excited to be able to offer our new and improved Shohin Soil Mix which has been absent from our range for too long now. The new mix is cleaner, more closely graded and significantly improved in respect of it’s boi-activity and nutrient holding capacity. Important for bonsai growing in small pots.


It's been nearly 20 years since Graham first offered his special bonsai soil mixes for sale. Since that time these products have become the UK's favourite typically selling over 40 tons every year. These soil products are constantly refined and improved as better ingredients present themselves and represent the very best in quality, value and performance for bonsai tree growth in the UK today. Considering the ever-increasing cost of Japanese soils and the sensitive issue of fuel usage we have now sourced 70/90% of our blended soils within the U.K which means less 'soil miles', less import taxes and a lower price to you!

NEW AND EXCLUSIVE BONSAI FERTILISERS

GREEN DREAM products are without doubt the UK’s most popular organic fertilisers for bonsai trees. We sell many thousands of products annually and after 30 years in the market our fertilisers are trusted by huge numbers of customers across the country. We are very pleased to present the latest additions to our range. These are 100% organic, natural AND UK produced and all are in stock for next day delivery.

NEW! Japanese Made Quality Stoneware Bonsai Pots

Nobody makes quality products quite like the Japanese. Quality materials, passion and attention to detail are a given when purchasing Japanese manufactured goods. For the discerning bonsai enthusiast that demands a little more than the next guy, we are pleased to offer this range of bonsai ceramics not seen in the UK for decades.

Graham got fed up with sub-standard ceramics and poor quality and so we have stepped up and imported these exceptional value Japanese bonsai pots. Whilst they may not be the quality of artisan-made and signed 'Tokoname' bonsai pots they are absolutely the best quality available at anything up to two or three times the price.

High fired vitreous stoneware is supremely frost resistant. We feel the consistency, high-quality finish, adaptable colours and attractive design of these pots coupled with amazingly good prices make the range unbeatable.
