Bonsai tree help?

Question

Hi brought a bonsai seed set from boots and it told me to plant the seeds and put them in a sealed polythene bag. then leave for 2-3 weeks in light but not direct sunlight. Then put the pots in the fridge for 2-3 weeks and remove back to the indirect sunlight. But in two of my pots the seeds have sprouted so should i skip the fridge part for those ones? and do i leave them in the polythene bag still? can anyone help or point me to the right place. thanks

Answer 1

Refrigerating ones that have sprouted will stunt their growth. The seeds could have been refrigerated after soaking but before planting. Only then should they have been planted, etc. If you keep them outside the bags make sure they still have moisture and keep them indoors or outdoors based on the  type of plant making sure that they are never in direct sunlight.

Answer 2

Bonsai seeds should stay moist internally to help them grow. Woody seeds tend to dry much easily than most of us would expect them to. That's why you should make sure you're getting fresh seed that has not been dried and has internal moisture retained.
