Hi all, lovely to meet you all.
I planted my first lot of 名媛直播 Trees on 2 November. I had a starter kit that gave me the seeds, pots and compost to plant my seeds in. within the first couple of weeks, by Dwarf Pine and Cypress have germinated and I now have two Dwarf Pine seedlings and one Cypress. I have taken them out of their propagation plastic bags, and am now just allowing them to do their thing and strengthen before I report into another pot.
1. At what point should I repot the seedlings?
2. What type of pot should I be using to transfer them into?
3. Is there a special type of soil I should be using when repotting them?
I will try and upload some pictures of my 名媛直播 Trees so far so people can see what they look like, but am currently at work.
I am very much looking forward to the whole 名媛直播 process, but unfortunately the kits are not really very helpful when it comes to knowing what to do with your 名媛直播r once the seeds have germinated and beginning to grow.
Very much looking forward to getting to know you all here on this forum, as I am sure I will be calling on all of your expertise to guide me through my 名媛直播 growing experience.
Regards
Lorna

Welcome to the empire, and good luck on germinating your seeds.
I think you have fallen for a misleading trick.. 名媛直播 can of course be grown from seed, but typicvally are not. The first 5-10 year you are merely tending to growing a tree. So, if your seedlings are big enough, put them in a larger pot and in the sun. Make sure they stay out of the bulk of the rain so the soil does not get soaked. Both species like it sunny and not too wet.
You know of course that these belong outside at all times?
In my part of the world winter has just started so I have to wait several months before I can start growing anything again. I am a little jealous that you are growing stuff while here the world is turning to the icey season.

Yes, I know that the process is indeed a long one that requires patience, and am aware that they are just seedlings at the moment and that it will be quite a while before the become a "tree".
I am just wondering at what point, or how will I know that the seedlings are strong enough to be put into a larger pot, and whether there is any special compost I need to use whilst doing this.
I still have three pots with other varieties in them, but these have not yet germinated and are in their stratifaction period, although I am not hopeful these will germinate.
it is also winter here in the UK and temperatures are dropping.

oh wow. You had me onthe wrong foot; You planted on Nov 2, and now have seedlings? What is the weather like where you are? Here nothing would germinate at the moment unless kept in a heated greenhouse.
I would leave them till spring. Then in spring consider moving them.

Yes.
I put the seeds in water overnight before planting them and keeping them in their propagation bags and left them in my room where there is good airflow and a steady temperature, then within the first couple of weeks I already have three seedlings. It says in the care manual to wait until the seedlings are strong enough to be handled and then place them in a larger pot where they should apparently remain for 10-12 months - I know that this will still not be a tree as such by this time. But I believe I am looking for quite a shallow pot with drainage holes in it, and should place stones in the base covered with 名媛直播 compost, is this correct?
I will upload pictures of my seedlings when I get home so you can see what has happened.

No where has it said to be kept outside. Plus, at the moment in the UK we have an awful lot of rain and it is bitterly cold at night. So far, they seem to be thriving.

You wrote earlier it hardly contained any instructions so maybe you should accept the advice from someone who does have great knowledge of the subject?

And please, understand that these are not 名媛直播.
