3 months ago I planted 4 Colorado Blue Spruce from seed during a little class at our local Senior Center. We used a Garden Republic 名媛直播 Kit.
Mine came up in one tiny pot, but last week 3 died.
I live in Wyoming. Since I planted the seeds, so far this winter we have had temps ranging from -12 up to 35 degrees F. Had one day about 45 degrees. I know these are cold weather trees, but I suspect this weather is a bit much for my sad little seedling in a pot half the size of an egg. I keep it next to a bright window in the coolest room in my house, about 60 to 65 degrees F.
I have one little survivor. Worried about this little guy. How do I fertilize? Do I have the right potting mix? The kit came with potting pellets that you dissolve in water.
As for nutrients, all the instructions say is that after it shows the second set of leaves to "add diluted plant food, increase concentration over time" That isn't very helpful, or am I missing something?
My photo has a quarter in it so you can see the size.
Thank you for your help.
