Seedling
Hello everyone!
I just started my bonsai journey about 5 weeks ago with some intensive research, reading books, and watching A LOT of videos on YouTube! I took the plunge and got a 6-year-old Fukien Tea, which I keep indoors and mist every so often. My mom also gave me some seeds she had bought in a store-bought bonsai kit that she had lying around - I wasn't confident the seeds would germinate but one has already, two weeks after planting! It is a pinus aristata - Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine.
I also have planted jacaranda mimosifolia, delonix regia, and Japanese cherry blossom (not sure on the exact species).
My Fukien Tea the day it arrived and I gave it a preliminary pruning.
The pretty flowers that have been blooming on my Fukien Tea!
My Fukien Tea a few days ago in full sun. Need to do some serious branch pruning, but I want to wait until it has established itself for a month or so.
The seedlings! In the bigger pots in the middle are delonix regia, pinus aristata, and jacaranda mimosifolia. The smaller cups are half jacaranda mimosifolia and Japanese cherry blossom. I planted the large cups on 27 March, and the smaller cups on 3 June.
One of the pinus aristata pushing through a couple days ago!
The little pine is standing straight up now, this is from today!
Anyway, this is my little collection for now. Lots of work to raise the seeds, but
