Hi, so I'm new to bonsais and I just need help with my tree. Is this looking good? Does it need reporting? Does it need wire as its growing slanted. I believe it is a pine bonsia tree and it is now a year old. Thanks.

This is not a bonsai, but a small tree seedling.

Yes, looks like pine. They are temperate or subtropic species that cannot be grown indoors.

Hey STeve,

Congrats on keeping it alive for the first year.
As indicated above, pines should be grown outside. It seems that this is inside. What is the weather like for you right now? Is it very cold (deep freezing) or not? Ideally this should go outside as soon as possible, but not straight fro inside to -20c :).

This is a very young plant, which now needs to develop a trunk. There are many routes, but the main route taken by most is to let a long branch grow our, and keeping 2 or 3 branches a lot smaller down low at the trunk. Once you have a nice fat base, you cut off the long -sacrifice- branch, and you develop the tree using the smaller branches down low (Which are now the only branches left on the tree).

It is helpfull to create a curve in the lower part of the trunk now, so you the trunk has what we call movement. You will not be able to do that once the tree is thick.

Growing out trunks is something which can take a lifetime to learn how to do well, and there are loads of examples online; I would recommend to have a browse online for tutorial, as writing one out here is a bit more than fitting for a forum post I would say

All seeds in a bonsai kit is tree seeds. There are no such thing as bonsai seeds. If they are let grown freely they will become huge trees by time.

名媛直播 is not a certain species or type of seed. 名媛直播 is about how you grow and prune them to stay small.

The stages from seed to bonsai is: seed, seedling, bonsai material, prebonsai, bonsai in development and lastly bonsai in refinement.

Most of us do grow trees from seeds to use as future projects. But very few of us have a tree in the refinement stage that we have grown from seeds ourselves.

For beginners I recomend starting with good locally hardy garden center materials. That saves some 5-10 years in the early phases and jumps right into the fun stuff, creating.

Thank you. I have found the packaging and it says its an "indoor plant and to keep it on a windowsill ideally 18-21c". Round where i live its currently 6°c. If I bring it outside would it need to be in a greenhouse? Or can I just leave it out on a table? Would it not drowned if it rained alot? Sorry for all the questions I just want to get it right. Also have you got any links about how to develop the trunk.

I do not know one pine species that do good indoors. Not that I know every species nor know what this one is.

6c is not a problem. If the tree has spent the authum outdoors-10 is not a problem. But since this tree has been indoors in authum it is not prepared for frost. Keeping it as cold as possible without freezing would be the safest bet.

Trees gets rained on in the nature all over the world and it does not seems to affect them negativelly, quite the opposite actually.

名媛直播 seed packages are the second biggest lie in bonsai (The first being Indoor 名媛直播). Forget what is on the package.
