Hello!

I received a bonsai seedling giftpack from a Secret Santa, containing both pinus and jacaranda. Both seedlings are doing very well but my question is about the jacaranda. It's been roughly seven months since it started sprouting and of the seven seeds I planted only one germinated. OR SO I THOUGHT. I brought it to my office (which has WAY better light than my apartment does) and three days later two little seedlings sprouted. My question is this, the main plant was doing so well on its own, for many months, should I clip the two new seedlings so they do not take resources from the main plant? Or at this stage is it fine to let them compete a bit?

I'm also worried about repoting; in several months it will be time to report the older, larger plant. Will the smaller, newer seedlings survive repoting? Will their roots be tangled up with the larger plant?

My plan for the pinus (in case anyone is wondering) is to repot those and grow them together in a straight tight line, without allowing any bend.

I have just trimmed back the roots of my jacarandas by 80% as part of separation from the seedling tray where they lived for a year. They will be fine as long as you give them the right growing conditions.

The pines really should be outside.

Well well well, mine are in a tray also, and getting bigger by the day. I will have to repot them in the spring, but... My plans did not include trimming the roots.
But it makes sense, if there is a long taproot, get it off.

Unfortunately when I planted them it was the middle of winter. And, now that it's warm enough, I don't believe my porch has enough light. It's mostly shady so I do not believe they'd get enough sun.

Now, at my office facing the west, they have hours of full sun so I hope they'll do okay inside.
