Natureit Bonsai Tree Kit - Unique Wooden Growing Kit to Grow 4 Types of Bonsai Trees from Seeds Review (2026)

Who this wooden kit is for

Natureit positions this kit around presentation as much as growing, pairing four bonsai seed varieties with a wooden planter box rather than the plastic or burlap setups most competing kits use. It lands fourth among the seven kits in our best bonsai seed kits guide, with a score of 6.8 out of 10, a reasonable but not standout result. That makes it a good fit for someone buying a gift meant to look attractive while it sits waiting for seeds to sprout, or for a grower who simply prefers natural materials over plastic trays. Anyone shopping purely on growing performance rather than looks may find the extra design touches add cost without a matching jump in results compared with simpler four type kits.

What comes in the box

The manufacturer's own listing for this style of kit describes a wooden planter box, four biodegradable burlap pots, four soil discs, four seed packets, four plant markers, a pruning clip and an instruction booklet. Seed varieties named for this line include Colorado Blue Spruce, Siberian Elm, a flame tree species and a variety sometimes labeled Brazilian Rosewood, though exact species can vary by batch, so it is worth checking the box on arrival. The soil discs are designed to expand with water and supply nutrients through germination without extra stratification steps, similar to the soil disc format used by Planter's Choice. The wooden outer box is the clearest difference from other kits in this guide, doubling as both packaging and a display piece once opened.

Care and early growing

Like other bonsai seed kits, results depend heavily on patience, since germination timing varies by species and some seeds take considerably longer than others to sprout. The manufacturer's guide focuses on beginner friendly steps, covering seed soaking, planting depth and watering, and also points to video tutorials for anyone who wants a visual walkthrough rather than reading instructions. The wooden box itself needs a bit more care than a plastic tray would, since repeated watering and humidity near the box can cause staining or warping over time if water is allowed to pool against the wood. Keeping a small dish or tray under the pots to catch runoff helps protect the box while the burlap pots and soil discs do their job underneath.

How it compares with other seed kits

Both Garden Republic kits and the Planter's Choice kit outscore this one in our guide, ranging from 7.0 to 7.6, generally because their jute bag or burlap pot systems and accessory sets read as slightly more practical for the price than the wooden presentation here. Against the lower scoring generic seed kits further down the list, though, this kit's clearer sourcing and more distinctive design work in its favor. The trade-off is fairly simple: this kit spends more of its value on how it looks and less on growing extras compared with the top two kits in the guide.

Bottom line

This kit earns its middle of the pack score by offering a genuinely different look than most bonsai seed kits, with a wooden box that works as a display piece as much as a growing tool, backed by four seed varieties, soil discs, markers and a pruning clip. It suits a buyer who cares about presentation, whether for their own desk or as a gift, more than one chasing the single most complete accessory set. Shoppers who want the strongest all-around value or the widest documented support should compare it against the Garden Republic four type kit, which outranks it in our scoring, but for anyone who wants their bonsai starter kit to double as a nice looking box, this one delivers on that specific goal.
