名媛直播

Hi all,

I'm very new to this and I need some help. My aunt went to Japan and bought me a black pine 名媛直播 kit. It comes with own soil etc

Two of the seeds have sprouted and were growing well and straight up the suddenly today I noticed that the bigger one almost flopped over with the other looking like it will soon so the same.

I keep the bonsai indoors, the sun does reach it but I wouldn't say it's an overly bright area. I water it very minimally every day by using a small spray bottle (3-4 soft squirts) in the morning and evening. Before watering I touch the soil with my finger to see if the moisture sticks to it or not to judge if it needs watering.

Is there a way that I can somehow rescue the sprouts ?

Is there reading on that bonsai kit informing how many years it will take before you grow the seed to a bonsai ready tree?

Hi,
no it doesn't say much other than that it is black pine bonsai tree.... I'm just a bit confused because it looked fine the other day and suddenly today it's all floppy...

I see. Sorry for the off topic. Only for your information, growing these seeds to a tree will take at least 10 years, if they go well. This is something important to know. Sorry for your seeds though. Is there instruction on the kit how to grow them? There are experts here who can give you advises for your case, sorry Im a beginner.

the leaflet information that came with it is very minimal, just says it needs to be in a well ventilated area that receives direct sunlight for the better portion of the day. I think it's probably just mainly more of a "tourist" gift really but it's still sad if it would die on me so soon even though it has another ten years to go thank you for replying anyway

you can read how-to article on the website here:

The only one thing I can suggest in your case is that it may be too warm where you keep the seeds, but thats a no expert guess.

Good luck and I hope you keep your interest with 名媛直播 ; )

It is like a "Paint your own Rembrandt" kit. It may be fun to paint, but you will really never paint a Rembrandt (unless when you have the talent and after years of practice and study).

FYI: bonsai seed does not exist. Your seed is normal black pine seed, if you let it grow, it'll become a big black pine.

Not sure why your seedling is hanging, possible cause could be over-watering, under-watering, dry air (is it above a heating?) or a disease.

it's quite hot where I live but there's been a sudden drop in temperature over the past few days, wonder if that has anything to do with it... might try watering it less to see if anything changes.

This is one of the most common situations.. Germinating seeds is fairly easy. Keeping it alive is not. Just letting it dry out once can be fatal. And keeping it too wet too. I think the latter might be the problem. Search for "damping off"
