I received a birthday present of a bonsai tree starter kit late last year, and as a beginner I had very little knowledge of growing the trees. I recently had a spur of interest to take more care and grow my bonsais further. I am unsure of the multiple Judas trees in the pot and I am concerned of the yellowing leaves of the Wisteria. There also appears to be some type of mould growing on each pot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, please let me know if the kit was rubbish so i can start over fresh with a brand new plant. I have attached pictures to help judgement. Thank you for any advice.

How do you water it, sideways like that?

They have a long ways to go, years even, just to be a starter.

First thing you need to do, is give each tree it's own pot. The size of pot, you have now should be fine for a couple years.

They do best outside, I don't know if those trees can winter outdoors, never hap one, and I don't know what your winters are like. That would be something to research, Winter is, well winter.

Stuff that forms on the outside of clay pots, normally, doesn't hurt anything at all. From here it looks like calcium deposits. It comes from the clay, there's nothing you can do about it, I think it adds caricature, personally.

Rubbish or not its up to you. But what you have is normal tree seeds that are marketed as bonsai seeds and sold at several times higher price than seeds not marketed as bonsai seeds.

One of the problems with this business is that theese seeds are marketed globally and many of them ends up in places were they just cant grow without very expensive equioment and a lot of experience. And of course that it will take decades before it is time to start to train it as bonsai.

If you want to learn bonsai skills and develop bonsai get some mature garden center materials hardy to your area.

If you really want your first bonsai grown from seed and invest decades to do so. Get yourself to a forest close to you and collect as many seeds you want for free. The benefit beside cost is that you know for sure that the seeds is fresh and that the tree can grow in your area.

Besides a few seedlings and garden center materials I also grow a few wild collected mature local trees, a few trees collected in my own and other peoples gardens as well as a few more refined bonsai trees. All of the above takes more investment in terms of money and work as well as more experience and knowledge.

But the best start is locally hardy garden center materials.

Both plants suffer from being indoors. Bring them outside, protect from long exposure to direct sun for the first weeks, as these are weak and cannot deal with it after spending time indoors. Once you see the wisteria strting to grow, and the first leaves come out they can move back into sun.
