Size:

The ideal tool for nurturing and maintaining your beautiful bonsai and compact indoor plants.

These Esschert Bonsai Shears are crafted from durable carbon steel with fine, sharp blades that make delicate pruning feel effortless. Whether you’re trimming new growth, shaping branches or tidying leaves, they give you the control you need without crushing or tearing tender stems.

Thoughtfully designed handles sit comfortably in your hand and help reduce fatigue during longer pruning sessions. Choose the size that suits your plants and your grip, or keep both on hand so you always have the perfect tool for detailed work.

Use them alongside your favourite gardening tools to create a calm, considered plant-care ritual that keeps your bonsai and leafy friends looking their best.

  • Comfortable ergonomic handles – Rounded handles are easy to hold and help reduce hand strain while you work.

  • Two handy sizes – Small shears are perfect for ultra-fine detail on tiny leaves and buds, while the large size is ideal for general shaping and light branch trimming.

  • Durable, long-lasting tool – Carbon steel construction is made to stand up to regular use in your indoor garden or potting shed.

  • Beautiful and practical – Simple, timeless design looks right at home on a peg rail, in a gardening caddy or next to your favourite plant care essentials.

FAQs

Are these shears suitable for beginners?
Yes. The comfortable handles and sharp blades make them easy to use, even if you’re new to bonsai or plant care. They’re a great step up from basic household scissors.

Can I use them on plants other than bonsai?
Absolutely. They’re ideal for trimming indoor plants, herbs, small stems and light garden growth. For thicker branches, we recommend pairing them with heavier-duty secateurs.

What is the difference between the small and large sizes?
The small shears are designed for very fine, detailed work on small leaves, buds and tight spaces. The large shears have a slightly longer blade and handle, making them better for general shaping and slightly larger branches.

How should I care for the blades?
Wipe the blades clean after each use, ensure they are completely dry, and store them in a dry spot. A light coating of blade or mineral oil every so often helps prevent rust and keeps the action smooth.

Can left-handed users use these shears?
The symmetrical handle design means many left-handed users find them comfortable to use, though they are not a specialist left-handed model.

Product Descriptions

We aim to describe all products as accurately as possible. However, descriptions and other content may occasionally contain minor discrepancies. If a product is not as described, you may return it in unused condition for an exchange or store credit.


Returns & Exchanges

Change of Mind

If you’re not completely satisfied, you may return items within 14 days of receipt in original condition (unused, unwashed, and in original packaging) for an exchange or store credit.
Refunds are not offered for change-of-mind returns.

  • Email contact@fluxboutique.co.nz with your invoice number and reason for return before sending items back.

  • Return shipping is at your cost.

Sale Items & Special Orders

  • Sale items: Eligible for exchange or store credit only (no refunds).

Faulty or Not as Described

If a problem is minor and can be put right, we’ll repair or replace the item within a reasonable time.
You may choose a refund or replacement if any of the following apply (as set out in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993):

  • The item is unsafe.

  • The item is not fit for its normal or agreed purpose and can’t be fixed easily within a reasonable time.

  • We can’t repair or replace the item within a reasonable time.

What counts as a “reasonable time”?

There’s no fixed number of days—it depends on the item and remedy. We aim to resolve minor issues as quickly as possible. Reasonableness may consider:

  • The type of fix needed (simple swap vs complex repair)

  • Stock/parts availability and service logistics

  • How essential/urgent the product is for normal use

  • Clear, prompt communication and agreed timeframes

If we can’t put the problem right within a reasonable time, you may choose a refund or replacement under the CGA.

We’re unable to accept unused goods returned with damaged packaging unless they are faulty.

Freight charges are non-refundable unless the goods are faulty. For faulty returns, we will also refund the reasonable cost of returning the goods to us—please contact us first for instructions.
