Erm... I am sure you know this is not a bonsai?
What was written on the package? Were there more species than only this one? Which tree seeds did the package say it contained?

Ah yes... "Gives you a chance to grow a range of different bonsai trees."
You do not need a kit for that. What it contains are ordinary seeds. There is NO such thing as bonsai seed.
Yes, you can grow a bonsai, but please understand it will take you 15 years before you've got something to start with.
Looks like a pine to me. Can't be sure though.

But all this sounds very weird, the "bonsai kit" was sold with no information about the seeds it contained?
And the tree illustrating the ad (in the background) is an ugly ficus benjamina.

Did some research, may be a pine indeed. I hope it survives for 15 years from now though , going to buy a smaller tree to practice on.
