Hey guys,
Wife bought me one of those grow kits for my bday. I successfully grew a handful of Brazilian Rosewoods and some black and blue spruce. Sadly, my spruces keep dying and now my rosewoods are starting to fall over. Any tips?
Live in north Florida.?Currently set up inside with a grow light that’s on 4 hours a day. Mist daily and water when soil starts to feel dry. I just transferred to bonsai training pots. Currently using succulent soil. This is my first ever bonsai attempt. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!?
Pictures attached for reference.?

Keeping them inside once germinated is most of the problem, and they are trees not bonsai. It will be 15 to 20years before they could be called bonsai. You cannot water properly or provide adequate sunlight or humidity inside.

The spruces is rated hardy in usda zone 2-7. And you are like in 9 or 10??
Growing trees that far off their hardiness zone may show to be a lot harder than creating a bonsai from seed.
Next time trying my advice is to do the research before, not after.
