japanese black pine and Japanese Wisteria care was created by iamaghlobeli
Posted 10 years 1 week ago #15076I'm new to this so forgive me if I will ask something stupid here.
I planted japanese black pine and wisteria seeds about a month ago and today noticed that finally in pine pot it has "bloomed" out of soil.
and this is where my problem starts

please help me

I don't know how to water it (frequency)
when should i change the soil ? right now it is in forest soil. and plastic pot.
currently for drainage I'm using small stones and plastic foam in both pots.
for now only pine has "bloomed", I'm still waiting for wisteria to show himself
thank you very very very much in advance

Posted 10 years 1 week ago #15081First of all, i am not to sure or cannot see clearly that the seed has germinated. It would be better to get any kind of seed compost, if you cannot get it then i would say that you could try normal compost. If you intend to create actuall bonsai i would not say "stop now! It is a waste of time!" i will say that it will take a good ten years of growth to get suitable material to work with. But before you start growing i would recommend a good study on this subject:
Water when the soil starts to dry out (with bonsai trees) with seeds, try to maintain a steady-ish moisture level. Ou could just use gravel for drainage, or "crocks".

Posted 10 years 1 week ago #15083and also thank you for the word "germinated" spent quite a time to find that word but ended up using "bloomed"

as for the bonsai, I'm not in a rush so it can take as long as it wants. it is my first child from seeds after all.
previously I "created", if i can say so, bonsai that actually were Cut and subsequently rooted raw branches of grown trees of Pomegranate and persimmon, planted in Seashells.
about compost, well it was sold to me as seed compost and I guess it's best I can get in my country

Posted 10 years 1 week ago #15085As for care.. Pine like to be on the dry side, but not a single tree likes dried out.. Soaking wet soil is dificult.
Leave it as it is. There are a number of good websites dealign with growing pine from seed for bonsai and I woudl recommend having a read.

Seems to work pretty good though. What's your native language?
