They died after a couple of months when I got them in th dirt 🥺 but they did grow leafs really fast and it was beautiful. There was not a variety there were multiples though. They were a decent size. But I would purchase again. They also arrived fairly fast.

I bought these willow shoots four years ago, and they're one of the best things I've bought on Amazon. I'm reviewing this item now because in the years since I received the three shoots, I've not only got the biggest of the original three trees, but also several dozen more trees growing from cuttings. I was able to grow the originals (lost one, unfortunately) but I've also been able to propagate many cuttings as the trees grow. Because I'm trying to promote thick trunk growth, I prune the fastest growing branches pretty regularly. When I prune branches I save the cuttings for new trees. I scrape the bark at the base of the cutting, and dip it into root hormone powder. Then, just like the originals, I let them soak in water until their roots start to grow, which they inevitably do. When the roots have grown healthy enough, I pot the cuttings and keep them fertilized. These are hearty trees. It's spring, and I'm propagating a new batch of cuttings. I would say that if you're interested in growing trees in a bonsai style, and you don't consider yourself a master gardener, this is a very good tree to start with. The attached photos show the "mama" where you can see the cut on the original shoot, but also the "kids" that are thriving from cuttings, as well as the latest "babies" developing their roots in water.

Not gonna lie when I received what I thought was a plant I was shook. Three sticks came, and I expressed a few expletives and told my daughter this wasn’t what I ordered. She went to the reviews and read them and it was exactly what I ordered. Then we start laughing. I can make anything grow so I proceeded to get my vases and put the 2 to 3 inches of water in the bottom and place the sticks inside the vase in a very well lit area of the house. Within a few days, they immediately started to root. I was elated then the task of me seeking out the proper soil so that I can plant them in pots, well that took another few days and while I waited, they started to bud. This brought me quite a bit of joy as I received these around the time that my granddaughter was born, so they are growing together. Every day, looking at them and seeing how they are transforming has brought me tremendous joy, I am definitely awaiting what the final result will be with this beautiful plant. Just a sidenote, always read the details of the product. For me it has been a happy happenstance. I would definitely take on this task again in the future

I’ve ordered plants on Amazon before. They’ve always come in a generally okay box with the small potted plant. I honestly wasn’t really thinking about how this plant was going to be shipped until the morning of the expected delivery date. That morning of, I thought, “How is a fragile plant like what’s pictured supposed to be sent?!”Then it was delivered. I thought someone else sent me something. SPOILER: they didn’t.I opened a very small manila envelope-esque package, not thinking it was gonna be this order.When I opened the package, I pull out a piece of tree with two smaller pieces of tree wrapped in a wet paper towel and rubber band that was in a clear plastic wrap. At first I was like, “Uh oh… I did I just get bamboozled?!?” I started reading the instructions which also has a QR code. I scanned the QR code and it led me to an instructional video that told me how to care for this plant.The person in the video said that the bottoms of the small pieces of tree (lol) that you get have to be submerged in 2 inches of water in a small pot for 2 to 3 weeks. They mentioned that it doesn’t necessarily have to be 2 weeks, but you’ll start to see roots sprouting, and then you can take what’s in the water and put it in the soil that they recommend.I’ve only had my plant for about five days and I can already see roots growing so things are looking great. I’m looking forward to seeing how much it grows and how beautiful it’s gonna be.I will say, though, in the person’s video, they showed what their plant looked like only after a couple of months and GIRL… she looks like a whole TREE. its BIG. and I have a studio apartment!! So we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. It’ll be fine. We’re fine. That’s on me for not researching how big it can get.I’d say this is definitely an option if you have a bigger apartment, a house maybe with high ceilings; you definitely need a lot of light ideally warm light. Otherwise, if you have an outdoor greenhouse or want to try planting it outside of your house if you live in a warmer climate, just read the instructions. Listen to the video and you’ll be fine.I haven’t gotten to this point yet, but REMINDER: buy the type of soil the person on the video recommends.I’m happy that I purchased. I’ll give it 5 stars for now, since it’s seemingly growing rooting well. But I’ll come back with updates if anything changes.

Update:3/7/2022 this was gifted to 2 family members. Both contacted me the plants are now dead with a black fungus growing on them. No change in soil, followed instructions to a T, unhappy and weird it occurred at around the same time with two different households 45 minutes from each other….Update: including pics of plants now almost 4 weeks later. All 3 stems are blooming!!! The bright light is the grow light I also bought on Amazon, it came recommended after I added the CZ bonsai tree to my shopping cart.I plan on posting pics when I can, but since these were gifted I will have to come back to this review to update. I got instructions on how to grow and followed them to the T. As soon as the stems came in I submerged them in a cup of water 2 inches deep. After watching CZ’s video I then bought a $14 grow light since I was to scared to put it by the window (I’m cheap and don’t like turning my heat on in winter so it gets cold and the plants were suppose to be in a warm environment). Can I just say the plants are blooming faster than what was stated on the video! They gave me extra stems and all of them are budding and have roots growing after 1 1/2 weeks!I am so happy I was actually able to gift a plant with some buds so it didn’t look like a stick in a cup lol
