Hello,
I recently grew a red maple from seed after cold stratification. The seedling is now about 4 inches tall, and i am not sure what to do next! Do i need to repot? What are its watering needs?
If anyone could help with basic techniques this would be great.
Its currently in a little cardboard pot with bonsai soil, and looks like these, but the head has already gone, and it is a little smaller.

Are you aware that what you posted is not a picture of red maples?

No! What are they? I got this in a gift, this is what the label said- but people have mentioned these are often wrong

Bit of a challenge. These should be outside. Inside they will eventually die. Unfortunately, it is a bit of a bad moment to move them outside. It would have been better to have not brought them inside.
For now, keep it in as cool a room as possible (Or if you do not get frost, bring it outside). Full sun. Be modest with water. Too much water is ofter a problem than too little.
