Hi, new here and new to bonsai. I’ve got myself into a bit of a situation. I bought a bonsai kit from the National British Museum and I managed to sprout 6 little seedlings. I went straight into it without any knowledge and when I planted the seeds I’ve put them all together into the same pot. I’ve also noticed that the surface made up some white moulding. The pot doesn’t have any drainage holes. Should I separate them now or wait for a year of growth ? I have them for about a month or so . It’s a Norway Spruce. I’d gladly appreciate any pointers on what should I do . Thank you very much . I’ve attached some phots to give out some idea about what’s going on.

The photos as I seen they weren’t attached in the original post

There are different opinions out there. Mine is that it is best to grow for a wile and separate on the right time of the year. On the other hand drainage is essential. I would suggest to carefully move everything to a pot with drainage holes without disturbing the roots.

One thing that there exist no different opinions on is placement. Norway spruce needs to be outdoors, indoors they will die. There are absolutely no doubt about that.

You might be able to drill some holes in the bottom of the existing pot. It looks like something resembling rubber. That might be easier on the seedlings.

Or, maybe drill the holes from the side, right down at the bottom of the pot. The requirement is for water to flow out and not puddle up.

Would it be okay to put outside at this stage ? I’m just thinking maybe it’s too soon. They’re like two months old

I am sure tree seadlings in nature do fine without anyone moving them inside and babying them

The sooner you get them outdoors the better. It seems like they germinated a little late, they will need a lot of light during the summer in order to be strong enough for the winter. They may need some slow adjustment to full sun location. So start in shade and move slowly to full sun.

What about changing the pot and separating them ? When will the best time for that be ? Thank you

Working on roots is best done late winter to early spring.
