Superfly Bonsai
DiscontinuedOverview
Superfly Bonsai was a U.S.-based supplier of bonsai products, including soils, tools, fertilizers, mica pots, and plastic pots. It sold through online platforms like Walmart Marketplace and Etsy. The brand ceased operations around late 2023 or early 2024, as announced via email to customers with a clearance sale.

The company announced it was going out of business, offering a 33% discount and free shipping on orders over $100, with the sale ending on Christmas Eve.
