Hello!
I am new to plants and decided to try and grow some azalea seeds I received in mini bonsai kit several years ago. I planted them about 2.5 weeks ago and have been keeping them in a ziploc bag, which I think really helped them grow (see attached). There are now 9 little sprouts, and some are kind of close together and near the edges. My questions are -
1. How long is it okay to keep them in that plastic bag? they seem to really like it but I didn't know if it would become problematic at some point
2. When do I repot them? I had read a year later, but will it affect the little sprouts that are close to each other/close to the edges?
Thanks in advance!

For seed sprouting a bag is ok, but it should be removed after. Or at least keep the bag a bit open. If you don't do that, you can get 'damping off' stem rot.
I would also repot them next year, give it time so they get woody.
Do you already have a plan for transitioning them to outdoors?
