is this useful for growing bonsai and is it remotely cat proof

I don't know anything about bonsai growing all I an say is that it's like greenhouse, hot inside unless you leave it unzipped. I've had it outside all summer and cats have not disturbed it. We have many cats in our neighborhood.

I don't know about growing bonsai but if you keep the flaps zipped, it would keep out cars unless they decide to scratch through the plastic wrap. It is rather thick so it would take a determined kitty to get through it.

If it is zipped closed it is cat proof. My cats would lay under it but they couldn't get in it when it is zipped. As to the bonsai I would say it depends on where you live and if you are looking for humidity or weather protection.

I have used it to start my veggie seeds. If you keep flap closed it creates a nice humid environment. Don't know if bonsais would like that or not but keeping the flap closed should keep any kitties out but once open for ventilation they could get in and shelves are not very stable. I used zip ties to secure them

Not cat proof. I think a cat could easily perforate the plastic as it isn't very thick. Without plastic, they could easily climb and lay on it.

I am unfamiliar with the conditions bonsai need to thrive. This creates a humid and tropical type environment if outdoors in sun. I would say it is not cat proof but the plastic outer cover zips all the way down to the ground. A cat could scratch the plastic or possibly fit under the plastic cover from the bottom. I'm sure there is a way to block the bottom though. Otherwise, for the money, I am happy with this greenhouse.

Yes it will unless the cat is very determined to get in, he can chew through the netting. This netting is pretty thick unlike the bird netting you'll find at your hardware store, so it is not as flexible as those. I cover my my entire grow boxes with this net held on with zip ties on a 1" PVC frame. It filters out some sunlight which is a good thing for me in Hawaii but it keeps out some pests including cats and flying insects. Hope this helps.

I have my pots on a wooden deck. I have the 20 gallon size, and I put them up on four bricks each, to allow for some airflow so the deck doesn't rot. On cement, I would guess you wouldn't have to elevate them if you don't want to. I have not had any problems with neighborhood cats using the pots as a litterbox. This is my third year using them, and they work great for just about anything!

I have not used it on bonsai. However, I do use it on my orchids and African violets in a diluted mix. I use about 3 drops rather than the 7 recommended and seem to have good luck with it. I don't feed everytime I water, no more often than every other time. My orchids regularly re-bloom and my African violets are more often full of blooms than not. Sorry I can't give you any experience with bonsai and Schultz.

The top 2 tiers are pretty sturdy. Most of your cat's weight will be over the mounting pole. As long as your cat's not pushing 20 lbs, this cat tree should work out fine.

Personally, I've never grown a bonsai. I use Schultz for all indoor plants I used miracle gro for.

Unless your cat is a lion, I believe that it wil be strong enough. This was used to prevent raccoons from entering patio. It worked!

No, I don't believe that would be an issue. Of course there is always so odd chance of something happening. This is our second cat tree. The last one they ripped to shreds because they loved the scratching posts. One or the other and sometimes both sleep on it every day.

I don't think it would hold up well in weather. Outside, I would use a tree! My parents have a large cat cage with a huge trunk from an old tree within - the cats love it.

Read my review, this is made of very cheap MDF that is full of toxins, if you love your cats, spend a little extra and find a non toxic cat tree. But I definitely would not place a 22lb anything on this, it would probably fall right over.

Yes it can. I have a cat that likes to climb one particular branch to get to the top of my fence to escape my yard. Used this on that branch and took care of my problem. She won't even go near that tree now.

I believe the sleeves are to waterproof the collar mounted units - since my cats don't go out in the rain, I don't need them. As to the beep and light, the "chirp" is very quiet and the little led is very very dim - doesn't bother my cats at all. In fact one of them will start toward the house or me if she hears the beep. The other one doesn't care one way or the other. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't use these units to find my cats and the male cat would have to stay in if I didn't have them.

I think it will last. However, I don't like the cat tree as a whole. The platforms aren't big enough for larger cats, it's a bit wobby on top, and some of the pieces didn't fit together correctly.

No def not. Very fragile and tempremental.Although a good idea to find your cat, this product actually is bad, and I would not reccomend it.

Costco sells a very sturdy tree and Petco carries well made ones. Do not buy the one I reviewed, it would not hold up to a large cat. I have two adult cats that use the one from Petco and it has lasted for 10 yrs. without any damage.

I just stuck mine in an old vase when I got it. It's 15- 16 in. I have had it a while now and it is beautiful grown a little. My problem is my cat likes to chew on it. I would recommend it. I never untied mine either. I want to put it in a planter with pebbles. Definitely recommend. Keep atleast two inches of water on roots.

Yes. That is precisely why I bought it. I've been using it to operate two fluorescent grow lights for my bonsai tree. Works great.
