Pine are, I find, dificult clients when it comes to wetness. I think just being indoors with log light intensity, and having wet feet will have caused your troubles. Try again, but keep them outside, ideally lighly sheltered for the rain. Growing from seeds is very easy, once you have got the hang of it. Most people need a few tries. It helps to have a try with someone who grows from seed often. He/She may be able to point out your problem within minutes by just looking at where they stand, and how you water them

Seeds, like plants, enjoy it damp, not wet. If your growing medium stays wet, don't water so frequently - let it dry out some before watering again. Root growth is the same once sprouted: damp not wet. Good draining bonsai soil helps eliminate that problem. Holes in the bottom of the cup help, too. Try some tomato plants or other vegetables while you're at it - all sorts of growing adventures out there, and fruits of your labor will tide you over until you have a tree.

If you're starting them indoors, you'll have to acclimate them to being outside over a period of time ~ a week or so, otherwise they may shock. Then, leave them outside so they get sun, rain, and good air circulation (or start them outside to begin with). Misting helps in early stages.

Read up more on pines in general, not just on pine bonsai. To create a pine bonsai, you must have a pine. Study that.


Very nice reply! Encauraging , the way to go!
