Hi all, I'm beginner grower and need advice. My spruce is growing well, only planted 2 weeks ago but the seed is at top. Is this ok or is there anything I will need to do? Any help will be appreciated.

Hello and welcome
It needs to be outside, inside it will die.
I do hope you are not expecting a bonsai growing out of that seedling?

This was a bonsai starter kit and I have just followed the instructions. Why do you think it won't grow a bonsai?

bonsai is not a species. As such, there is no such thing as bonsai seed. You have tree seeds. Trees grow out of it. It is up to you to turn that into bonsai.

That's what I thought. Just a seed that has germinated

Put it outside. It needs the nutrients that every tree needs.

Normally the seedskin would fall off during / soon after germination. Wait a little bit to see whether it pushes it off. Problem is, pulling it off, normally means, pulling of half the seedling including the only growing tip and it will die.

Thanks everyone for feedback. Gonna let mother nature do her thing. I will get it outdoors once I get it in a suitable pot. It's on a South facing window with plenty of natural light and I'm watering using rain water.
Would normal compost do at this early stage?
