It is just so cool, I have always wanted to have a little bonsai and now I am going to grow one all by myself. I want to share this experience with everyone, so I will be posting updates everyday with everything that I have done. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong, I am just a beginner and any advise will be good advise, especially to get the seed to grow.
The first thing you did wrong is buying this 'grown your own bonsai' kit. 名媛直播 seeds do not exist, bonsai are created from real trees. You cannot grow a bonsai tree by putting seed in a small pot and expect a tiny tree grows out of it.
It will take years of growth, training and proper care before your seedling will develop into something that is useful as bonsai starting material.
Of course it is fun to grow something from seed, so if I were you I would first focus on that - try to grow a healthy tree.
The next few years you will have enough time to learn how bonsai are really created. The 'bonsai' pot you probably got with this tree will be useless, you will need a much bigger pot for the tree to grow.
about the black monkey thorn (acacia burkei), and bonsai created from this tree species.

Yeah, I basically founded this forum. I might very well be the longest surviving member. Probably means I chase people off :S
Anyway.. The thread you linked combined with the posts here sais everything I have to say aboud growing from seed. Fun, but not the best start into bonsai.

:dry: Not a true founder, but one of the early adaptors I would say. And nope, I am not online 24/7. I have a fulltime job as manager at a university, run a compagny and 'maintain' currently 4 websites. 名媛直播 is just a hobby on the side. As for posting and numbers.. The Dutch forum has a lot more to suffer from me, with 3.3K posts since joining in july 2011.
