What do you mean by "vast" patience? According to the guide, it should
take no more than ten weeks for them to sprout. Sure, it'll take some
time before they look like something. But I'm not gonna die anytime
soon. It's just more personal that way.


Well, I _thought_ I offered an idea of how long . . . but you
won't/shouldn't do anything in the way of bonsai training on these for
at least 5 years. This fall, you can transplant to individual pots;
every spring you can pinch off the new leaders as they form, but that's
about all.

You can't possibly think of displaying them anywhere for at least 10 years.

Seems you'll need something else to do in the interim. ;-)


Don't worry, I do have a life. These are not for a "display". They are
my plant buddies and I consider watching them grow an important part of
the process.
