Hi! I bought a bonsai kit in Amsterdam and am now trying to grow in Texas. The seedlings are growing pretty quickly - I planted the seeds 4 days ago . Pic attached. When should I repot these and what's the best way to repot without damaging the roots? I'm assuming each seedling needs it's own pot.

No picture attached.
4 days is way to early. Wait until they grow their first true leafs.
Damaging the roots is necessary when growing bonsai. Allready at first repotting it makes sence to cut the tap root off depending on species. Do you know what species you have?

I'm not sure what type of seeds they are, unfortunately. The instructions that came with the kit say to repot them once the seedlings reach the top of the plastic container (in the background of the photo) and they're almost to that height... Once they do get the point of repotting - I need to have only one seedling per pot, right? This is my first try so sorry for my ignorance
Thanks for your reply!

Well, while you could individualize them now, I don't see much of a reason, they're too young, just give them some nice sunlight and let them get stronger.
Can't say what species it is also...
