How to Grow

Bonsai Tree Growing Instructions

Best time to plant is Autumn or Spring.

Soak the seed overnight in warm water - NOT HOT
Fill the pot: Gently add bonsai mix to the pot, leaving about 1 inch from the rim.
Sow the seeds: Scatter the seeds on top of the soil. Don't bury them - most need light to germinate.
Mist the soil: Lightly mist the soil surface to moisten it, avoiding saturating it.
Choose a spot: Place the pot in a warm, sunny location with indirect sunlight. Aim for temperatures around 18-25°C (64-77°F).
Keep it moist: Regularly mist the soil to keep it consistently moist, but not soggy.
Be patient: Germination can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the species.
First sprouts: Once sprouts appear, gradually introduce them to more direct sunlight.
Watering: As the seedlings grow, adjust watering to the needs of your specific tree species. Generally, water when the top inch of soil dries slightly.
Thinning: If multiple seedlings sprout, carefully thin them out to the strongest one or two per pot.
Repotting: When the seedlings outgrow their container, repot them into slightly larger pots with fresh bonsai mix.

Bonus tips:
Research the specific needs of your chosen tree species for optimal germination and care. Don't give up! Bonsai trees are slow-growing, so enjoy the journey and celebrate every milestone.
Have fun and be creative! Bonsai cultivation is a rewarding hobby that allows you to express your personal style
