Azalea Kokedama (Grown Bonsai)

Came in terrible condition. Jammed both plants in a skinny damaged box. At least this one had some green leaves on it , but not great. Hopefully I can save it. More optimistic about this one than the maple I ordered. Will never order from them again.

I purchased a kokodema bonsai from Spirit of Japan for a Christmas present for my partner. Shipping took a very long time, and when I received the bonsai, it was completely dead. I contacted Spirit of Japan, and they offered to remove the "handling" fee, but insisted on charging shipping for the replacement. In the hopes of getting a better result, I foolishly took them up on the offer. 25 days later, the replacement arrived, and while technically alive, it dropped almost all of its leaves inside the package and does not appear healthy at all, and nothing like the bonsai pictured on the site. I'm unhappy, and the person who was to receive the bonsai is very unhappy. A bad experience all around.

I like that it’s grown and I just have to repot it!
