Shiro Bonsai was started in early 2021 when I found myself struggling to find affordable training pots. After bringing in a shipment of pots i soon found a huge demand for bonsai products nationwide. I started selling at local markets & soon grew to an online store. In 2022 we set a goal to open NZ's first physical bonsai store!

2024 we welcomed Kusamono Cafe. Our Cafe/Bonsai store here in Otautahi. Bringing our goal of accessible bonsai to life!

The structure of Shiro Bonsai is created around education, from each tree being categorised within its growth stages, to each soil type sold individually so you can learn and create your own mix for what works best in your location.

Bonsai is an amazing hobby and one that has truly made my life better and it’s something I want to share with everyone!
