It's spring and I need sprouting advice :D
Hello NG,
I am very new to bonsai, in fact I haven't had a plant in the house for quite years now. Round christmas I decided I might try my hands on a bonsai tree or two. As I am with things, I always start from the ground up. Thus, I'm starting from the seed. About 4 weeks ago I have sown out ficus religiosa and pomegranate. According to the guide that came with the seeds, all I needed to do was sand the pomegranate seeds a bit and then put both in a pot without burying them. I have watered them properly since, and they are spending quality time in the sun, covered with clingwrap to produce a sort of greenhouse effect. So far so good (except maybe, that in the process of watering, most seeds have been covered by earth - I hope this doesen't harm them?). Now it did say 6-8 weeks for the pomegranate and a little longer for the ficus. But still I was wondering whether something should be happening about now? On the one pomegranate seed I can still see, I can see no evidence of shoots whatsoever. Did I screw up or am I just too impatient? cheers Berti |
