I bought a Norwegian Spruce 名媛直播. As advised I have had it in its own little green house for about 7 months now. Doesnt seem to be doing much though. I realise it takes time but it has now been at this stage for about three months. Should I be repotting it? Am I preventing it from growing? As you will see in the pictures it seems to be making it own little echo system in the bottle and the trunk has started to turn brown (both of which I am hoping are good signs) but should I be taking the next steps for it to grow as it seems to have come to a halt?
Thanks

I am not sure why you write you bought a bonsai, but post a picture of a seedling?

That seedling .should have been outdoors by now. Unlikely that it is going to live much longer.

My best guess would be that the OP thinks that the seedling is a bonsai? You know "a small tree in a pot". Odd how that idea seems to stay alive.

So you guys have nothing better to do than put people down rather than offer advise. Well done! Your families must so proud of you. I will however put the SEEDLING outside. Maybe it will grow and I will be able to get my Im still a virgin badge just like you two. Ta!

I hope it survives.
My experience growing seedlings from conifers is if they get pampered inside a tent, undirect light, high humidity et al, they get so weak that when you change the environment to a "normal" one, outdoors in direct sun and wind, they drop and die.
On the other hand, seedlings sowed and kept outdoors in dappled sun rate of success is way higher, like 75%.
That's why people sow from 25 to 100 seeds at once, and then culling them down to the best ones for a future bonsai.

This is a first time for me so all help is most welcome. I have moved it to a larger pot and put it outside now so will see how she goes. Thanks for your response.

Wow.. Getting personal awfully fast. So let me get this straight.. You can come to a forum and post a confusing message talking about having a bonsai, but not showing one and we have to understand what you mean? Yet if someone asks for an explanation, that is not OK and you can start attacking people? Well done. Your mother must be so proud of you.

Congrats on getting it to this stage. Now just let it grow.Your plant is small. It needs sun, avoid too big a pot as it may stay too wet too long. The risk of loosing seedlings to fungus is quite real.
