NEBG Seed Germination & Propagation Kit – Everything You Need to Start Growing Bonsai
If you’ve ever wondered how bonsai artists grow the trees you see in our greenhouses, this is it. We built this Seed Germination & Propagation Kit based entirely on what our customers actually buy when they decide to grow bonsai from scratch. No fluff. No filler. Just the tools and pots you’ll truly use.
Whether you’re experimenting with seeds, starting cuttings, or trying to grow species you can’t find anywhere, this kit gives you the same setup we use every single day here at NEBG. It’s beginner-friendly, but absolutely capable enough for experienced growers who want a proper propagation workstation.
If you’ve been thinking about growing your own bonsai forest, this is the perfect place to start.
