Please help. I must be an idiot. My bonsai are dying.
I live in Ohio.
12 months ago (January), I planted 4 Norway Spruces.
They sprouted in 2 inch pots and grew to the height of 2 inches.
Then they wilted and died in May.
I started again in November and I am afraid I'm going down the same path.
Because not all of my seeds sprouted last time, I put 4 seeds in each pot this time and they all sprouted.
So I have two small pots with 4 sprouts each.
I'm afraid these are going down the same path and are going to die soon.
I have them in a South-facing window sill with 6 hours a day of grow lights.
I water them every morning and every night.
The soil is double-sifted compost mulch, calcined clay, vermiculite and frit.
I have 6-10 pellets of fertilizer in each pot.
Here are the pots they're in:
What am I doing wrong?

Seedlings and bonsai is not the same thing. 名媛直播 is old mature trees in miniature form. It takes decades to turn a seadling into a bonsai.
Dont plant seeds in the middle of the winter inside. Plant them in spring outside after proper stratification. Or the more natural way by sowing in authum outside for natural stratification.

What you are doing wrong:
- you say your bonsai are dying, nop , your seedlings are dying ( but that is not what killed them )
- you kept them inside, and thats what killed them, its as simple as that. There is not one tree in the entire world that lives naturally indoors. They need sunlight to grow and survive ( sunlight is their food).
