How To Grow Bonsai Trees From Seed. I have started growing Bonsai Trees from seedling using the Garden Republic Starter Kit that my wife gave me for the holidays. The kit came with four packs of different seeds: Brazilian Rosewood, Colorado Blue Spruce, Flame Tree and Black Spruce. I am excited to see if these trees grow!

I received the same kit as a gift. My kit has instructions on the back of the individual seed packets for germinating the seeds. They are different for each type of tree. I believe you need to keep the seeds soaking in consistently warm water for 24 to 48 hours (depending on the seed type). Then, there are instructions for each type of seed on how warm to keep the soil (ie 65°F to 85°F). They recommend using a heating mat for this step. Each seed type has a varied amount of time before it will actually germinate in the soil (ie 7 days to as much as 45 days!). The point is there's not a one-size-fits-all approach. It's also a slow grow process. I'm mentioning this info in case anyone else receives this kit or buys one.

Guess what? I did begin maple seeds with no kit. Then on May 15, I got the same kit. I soaked the seeds, about 4-5 I each dish, and let them soak 2 days. Then I planted them in the pellets they came in and in the bags. Being that the Brazilian Rosewood needed more warmth, after about a week or more later I transferred the pot outside in the sunlight, with a baggie around the soil bag and zipped up. And now, I have spouted 3 of the Brazilian Rosewood, and of the Black spruce (I believe ) two are growing. I just noticed it today. The warmth of the weather helps, along with the plastic baggie because it creates like a greenhouse for them. I am excited but being very careful. The water is kept moist from the baggies. The other one has not grown but I guess some take longer than others. We will see how big they get.

I am trying to do the same, with no kit, only seeds gotten from across the pond. I have red maple seeds. On the website there were instructions to soak the seeds for 24 hours in warm water (not hot). Then after this, it was written that you need to "stratify" the seeds, by putting them in the refrigerator for 3 months (in a baggie filled with some damp soil, not a lot). This process is supposed to get them ready for the winter. It's May now, so I will take them out in August and see if any have sprouted. Once I take them out I will plant them in a lava soil ready for bonsai trees. But some even say you need to treat the seeds with a special solution to get rid of any fungus they might have. Meantime, I think getting the red maple seeds from trees in the fall as you can pick them off the trees, will work without stratification. I will try that too. It's a long, steady process. But I'm patient!

@@ClimapodGreenHouseandGardening Thanks. I hope to be able to do this and I hope you don't give up on yours. I found this as an alternative to buying this expensive solutions: " Disinfect the seeds with a quick wash of diluted peroxide if the seeds have a hard coat. A light spray of 1 part bleach to 10 parts clear water; OR light spray of white vinegar protects seeds from fungus. Allow every type of seed to dry completely. "

What if you live in the South? We have very mild winters.

@@leewoehlke5099 Then you would do better with the seeds if you have mild winters. You would probably not hav to stratify the seeds in the refrigerator.

No, I am sorry. This channel has been inactive for years. I am on the verge of taking it down and moving all of the content to my business channel.

No. They didn’t sprout at all. I think they were too cold.

@Climapod Greenhouse and Gardening I got the exact same brand and I think they used to not have quite the right directions on them, I'm attempting a Sakura bonsai and it suggest to let the seeds soak for 5-7 days, and it looks to be several days for most seeds

@@MyChemicalRomanceORE Hi! I just received the same kit as shown in this video. The instructions seem to indicate that you have to keep the seeds in warm to hot water the entire time (24 to 48 hours depending on which seed you are germinating). Do you have any ideas or suggestions for keeping the water temperature consistently warm or hot for that long?

@Scootermom Sadly, my seeds didn't germinate this first round, but I also didn't let them soak as long as suggested. Generally, you'll want to keep the temperature between 70-80°F. Not too hot and not too cold. I use a grow mat to keep temperatures in my plants. I use the Heat Accelerater Mat by Planters Pride. It stays around at a low enough temp that it doesn't cause damage to anything, but it's enough to keep the temperatures high enough for the plants. My full grown bonsai trees react well to being on the mat. I have a Tea Tree bonsai, and it's a more subtropical tree, so it Generally needs more humidity. It's also really good to just do research on the natural environment of the area the specific species grow in. It will definitely improve the bonsai trees quality of life
