Brussel's Bonsai 53805 Gardenia Bonsai

pot shattered!!!! no replacement available! (2010-05-15) : 1/5
I bought this as a Mother's Day gift for my mom and it arrived with the pot shattered! She said the bonsai is fine but she was so sad that she had to go buy a new pot. I tried to use the returns process to get a replacement and apparently that's not an option because they are all of a sudden out of stock. How in the world do you return a tree? I just want a new pot or compensation for the new pot my mom must now go out and buy. :(
Disappointed (2010-04-22) : 1/5
The gardenia was packed very well, looked great, I followed the directions, but the plant appeared to be suicidal; it started losing leaves immediately. They turned spotty black and brown, fell off, and I'm left with a nearly leaflass carcass. However, it is still alive, I'm still following the instructions, and hope springs eternal. My $9.00 gardenia from a Big Box store is thriving (Although Not a Bonsai), as are my other plants, so I know it's not me. Help!
yellow spots (2010-04-17) : 1/5
I bought this for my mom as a gift. It looked ok...at first just a little "over watered". Instead of blooming it developed yellow spots and all of the leaves are dropping off. It has a bacteria. I would never buy this again. Before I learned what the problem was she gave it back to me to try and fix. I put it with my other gardenias and now I realize I may have contaminated my own plants.
Very nicely packaged (2010-02-15) : 4/5
The bonsai was very tightly packaged and arrived shortly after my order. It was full of leaves and the friend I bought it for loves it. Waiting to see if it blooms in March/April but everything looks decent so far.
So far it's still alive (2010-02-10) : 4/5
This plant came with no flowers which was disappointing but then again, it was December. The leaves all fell out (almost all) and then sprouted new fresh ones. I think it will thrive beautifully in the Spring - I cannot wait.

This plant came well packaged and bonsai plants give you luck if you believe in Feng Shui. This seller ships fast and packs the plant well. I will definitely order again another bonsai plant for our living room. I wish they would sell more variety though.
