Product Description
The Dwarf Jade is one of the easiest indoor bonsai to grow and is recommended for beginners. Small, rounded, fleshy leaves contrast nicely with straight, substantial trunks. Dwarf Jade trees adapt well to a variety of light conditions and can manage without water for long periods. These trees grow quickly so no long waits are required to observe the results of styling efforts.

 Thrips Infestation! July 30, 2010
Bri.
My bonsai seemed fine for about a week, and then it started dropping leaves, just like all the others'. Unlike everyone else who's posted here, I found out why. I watered and inspected the tree and found little (.5mm) silver mites running around in the soil-- lots of them.
I did a lot of research and then eventually took it to a local nursery where they said and my bonsai came with a nice little infestation of thrips palmi.
Thrips are a common glasshouse and factory nursery infestation that attack the roots of young plants. To an adult plant, thrips themselves do minimal damage even in large numbers but can stunt or warp growth by feeding on terminal shoots, the undersides of leaves, causing them to drop. Each of my dropped jade leaves had a small brown spot at the base where thrips had been feeding. The real danger from thrips is that they carry Watermelon silver mottle virus that makes your leaves turn silver and shrivel up.
The reason the leaves start dropping is that thrips love the warm dry air of a house or apartment and the parasite population explodes when you house the plant indoors as advertised.
Anyway, in summary, they mention they are the biggest US distributor of bonsai, and I believe them, 'cause my bonsai has the parasites to prove it! DO NOT BUY!

When we received our Bonsai, it was delivered in excellent condition. The leaves were full & it was beautiful. After a couple of weeks it started to shed leaves. We tried everything to revive it, but now it only has a few leaves left. I am hoping it will come back to life in the Spring.
 Nice gift! January 7, 2010

I had good luck with this tree. I gave it to two different people as a gift. I saw one and it looked like the picture except it didn't have the second plant, just an empty space. It was everything they said it was. The price fluctuated and of course I felt better at the lower price

It was a beauty when I received it but slowly but surely it started to lose all its leaves and eventually died. I'm good with these plants but to no avail. It looks great in the picture with the little pond and all but whether you keep this plant indoors at any temperature, it is doomed. Amazon is very nice when it comes to these plants. They usually are very nice when a plant passes away by crediting your credit card but it took so long to die that I just couldn't call them to ask for a credit because of the long period of time between the time I bought it and the time it died. Oh well, I'll write it off on my taxes or something like that.
 Arrived fine, died fast June 14, 2009

It arrived quickly, despite the fact that I live in an apartment and UPS won't leave the package... The plant was in good shape, and I gave it as a gift to my grandma who loves plants.
However, though she followed the care directions the tree died quickly. So at least she has a pretty pot to grow something else in. The grass sprout thing is still alive.
Bottom line: I wouldn't buy it again.
