This was my first plant I bought through Amazon & had my doubts about what condition it would be in when I received it. But it was in great condition & I love it. I have had it since February & it is doing fantastic! I do not have a green thumb & normally can look at a plant & it dies..not the case with this Money Tree! Pictures are what it looks like now.
I read a lot of the reviews so I felt I knew what to expect. I ordered this on Sunday and I got it Tuesday! I did order Prime, but with prep times and the weekend was given a confirmed arrival date of Thursday, which was fine- but I got it before I expected it. I love the surprise of not knowing what the pot will look like, it makes the un-boxing feel like Christmas.
The tree was packed very well as others have said, I only lost 3 leaves to the shipping. I've added some blurry cell phone pictures taken today after un-boxing (why Amazon product pictures must come out blurry is a mystery). I decided to upload the pictures that included my desk clutter to provide scale reference. *Please note that I bought the drip tray separately*.
I was a little disappointed when I received my tree, as it is actually two small trees (see my 2 pics above) instead of the single tree pictured. My pics are 5 days after delivery and before any trimming...very little leaf loss and new growth already evident. It is a very healthy tree that I think I will be able to shape into a nice bonsai over the next few years. Overall, happy with my purchase...would be 5 stars if I received a single vertical tree, but I may be pleasantly surprised when the tree ages.
Edit: I raised my rating up to five stars. The tree is growing very nicely and appears to train easily. I have it under a single bulb grow light and water every 3-4 days. Cut off the larger leaves and pinch off new leaf growth (where you would like it to quit growing longer branches) to encourage trunk/limb girth and smaller leaf growth (smaller leaves give it the appearance of a large tree in miniature).
Plant arrived healthy and in great shape! I was really impressed by the packaging. Prime membership got it to me in 3 days. Only a couple of the little leaves fell off in transit. It was even larger and more beautiful than I expected from the picture. Full, lush, and green! The pot was a beautiful turquoise color. I will definitely buy from this seller again in the future. Very satisfied overall. I can't stop staring at it! Thank you!
Several weeks later my plant is thriving and beautiful. Almost the same looking as the picture minus maybe a leaf or 2. The seller had this plant extremely well packed. ALmost too good since it took me a while to cut and take out of box. I purchased pebbles with a tray to put under this money plant and I've noticed it has continued to grow and look beautiful. I had a plant before without the tray under it and it died pretty quick so now of course naturally I'm thinking the tray helps a lot. Look really pretty too.

I bought this bonsai for my boyfriend for his birthday. I was very impressed with the way it was packed for shipping. It looked so healthy & pretty. He's always wanted a bonsai tree (& I didn't even know it). It's the talk of his work place, everybody has to stop & compliment it & want one. It's been 2 weeks since he took it to work with him, it's now sprouting baby leaves.... He's a very proud bonsai owner. He's doing his research on rearing & keeping it alive :)
The Brussel's Money Bonsai tree was very healthy and is an attractive plant. It was larger than expected and makes a great table top decoration.
The leaves are full and green and the trunk of the tree is a healthy color. Great price for the product.
Arrived as on picture. No problems at all. I placed it at work near the window but away from the direct sun and its thriving!
Be careful with watering, the soil doesn't hold water very well and the first time I watered it drained through the hole in the bottom, so you're gonna need some plate for it.
The photo is taken almost a math later.
My little money tree arrived yesterday. I was VERY impressed with how it was packed -- very clever! It arrived in perfect shape and seems to be OK. The leaves were a bit droopy but seem to have perked up today. I think it's just lovely. Will update this review if things go south, but I'm hoping the plant will do well.
Update: My little tree is sitting in front of a window -- its leaves have definitely perked up and growing more. Am very pleased with this plant and I highly recommend Brussel;s Bonsai. When compared to other online vendors of plants -- the packing is far superior and the plant arrived in excellent shape.
