Planting a Natures Blossom Bonsai Garden Grow Kit - Let's plant the seeds :)

[@reginavanzuiden3737]

Sweet! My daughter got me the same kit. We can fail together.

[@PlantzNThings]

Hehe! it's always more fun in groups....lol Good Luck with your kit :)

[@elizabethtrujillo4151]

Did your trees grow at all?

[@keninthekitchen1562]

The idea to add a wick is very smart! I'll def give that a go when Im starting to grow my little trees. Thanks for this video 👍😉

[@raschelleybear69]

I got this kit for $19.99 usd at hobby lobby about 2 and a half years ago. Maybe 3. I started with the Jacaranda Mimosifolia just to experiment. I did what the instructions said and it never grew. After 2 months I just threw it away. Got discouraged and never tried the other ones. I was cleaning out some things and my son and I saw this kit. We just started to do the Prices Mariana now. Thanks for this video! I saved the Jacaranda seeds in the freezer, which was where i was told to store seeds. Not sure if that's correct, but I'm gonna start them now as well! My son and I are definitely excited to see if it works this time!

[@brianaj2320]

This is helpful! I got this kit from someone as they failed growing one and no longer wanted to try them. They lost the manual so this was helpful!

[@PlantzNThings]

Glad i could help :)

[@snoopdog2109]

can't wait to see progress on these. I love bonzai!

[@PlantzNThings]

I love the look of bonsai as well... they will not be trained as bonsai... I think they will just be used as garden shrubs... but it will be fun to say I started them from seed.

[@kiwiland2069]

Wow I've never grown a bonsai from seed or had one. I've been told you need patience with growing these.

[@PlantzNThings]

oh yes... patience is key. they will take many years to develop into anything that resembles a typical bonsai... I just want to have them as garden plants :)

[@kiwiland2069]

Your very lucky. We have nothing like this in New Zealand but all the best.

[@DeejayNonChalant]

Goose neck light w led bulb water a lot! Fast soil.

[@j.d.8075]

Jacaranda's can be slow to germinate here in tropical Aus, just have a read up as you may need not to replant...

[@XInfinity2024]

Good video. I can't wait for me to get my kit. I hope I have as much luck as you with the seeds germinating

[@PlantzNThings]

Good Luck :) I was surprised to have most of the pine and spruce sprout... always thought they required cold treatment first. all said it's a good kit. I wish they were cheaper.

[@NaserHekmat]

I got the same exact kit and I got 28 trees. Mostly Picea Marianna, afew Thumbergie, afew. Aristata and only one Jacaranda.

[@PlantzNThings]

AWESOME!!! what will you do with all of your babies?

[@NaserHekmat]

@@PlantzNThings I am gona make them all into bonsai. I live in Ontario so they are in nursery I made in my basement for winter.

[@PlantzNThings]

GREAT!!!

[@growingthings6232]

Awesome Bill its an interesting menagerie of seeds you have there! Good luck in getting them to grow on and become some fantastic little additions your garden

[@PlantzNThings]

Thanks Chris... i'm looking forward to growing them outside and keeping them compact.

[@AliStClair-lv5kr]

I bought this exact kit last week and all the seeds were different than what was said on the box, but the kit is still pretty neat.

[@rachaelelkins]

Me too. Mine doesn’t have the jacaranda, which was the reason I bought it. Did you have luck growing them?

[@AliStClair-lv5kr]

@@rachaelelkins that's exactly what I wanted too! Yeah I had some success. I got sprouts from everything but the juniper do far.

[@heatherd8577]

Same here. So far I only have sprouts for the black and blue spruce. Did your Juniper ever sprout? That's the one I really want to grow.

[@AliStClair-lv5kr]

@@heatherd8577 no, unfortunately they didn't but I haven't had time to dry another round of seeds lately

[@heatherd8577]

@@AliStClair-lv5kr I saved some seeds to try again over the summer so if these don't sprout in the next couple months I plan to use my back ups.

Just so you know I just liked and subscribed and hit the bell

[@PlantzNThings]

Thank you :)

[@highmaintenance8093]

Just planted ours today. Worried the soil is too cold even in TX heat. I dont have a hearing pad or room above my fridge to put them. Hoping the heat in the shop building with saturate the cups with enough heat to save them 🤞

[@justaweirdo6669]

I dont know how it went for you since its been 6 months, but i just planted mine in the winter in quebec and some are starting to grow (quite fast). How did it go with yours?

[@pukkazpenny]

Great video im sowing my bonsais tonight how many hours of light did you use for the germination time please

[@hanzifaction]

Nice trees! It’s always fun growing trees from seed. The picea mariana or black spruce is hardy to zone 2 and pinus thunbergia or Japanese black pine hardy to zone 6 should definitely grow in southern Ontario. I’m not sure about the other pine that’s a new one for me. Good luck! I might get the same kit!

[@AriellaJoyMusic]

I'm so glad I found this video because I got this kit and I have started with the Jacaranda Mimosiolia and it hasn't started sprouting and now at least I know that I need to be more patient and I'm also going to try planting the other seeds too! By the way, how many seeds did you plant in each pot? This kit came with so many seeds so I wasn't sure how many I should put in each pot. Thanks!

[@BBQNBLUES]

Bill; I've grown Magnolia Grandiflora from seed (after scarifying in the frig for 3 months) plus common Dogwoods (same treatment) so easy :)

[@PlantzNThings]

Did they start sprouting while in the fridge?

[@Adui13]

Emery board works well if used gently (for scratching the seed)

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

Sounds like a wonderful plant.

[@RCohle452]

Jacarandas self sow here in Australia.

[@Snowiesphotography]

Have you seen the DuneCraft kits? They are more aimed at kids I think but otherwise pretty cool....but again, I find them a tad expensive so I have yet to try one. But they have some really cool kits with really cool seeds.

[@livyrachel4058]

Hi there ! I watched your video over 2 weeks ago when I planted them and two out of the four sprouted ! About 4 sprouted in the two pots and I’m very excited but I’m wondering what I should do when they get bigger because I hopefully want to keep every one that sprouted. I also bought a grow light that does red and blue light and I’m using it during the day. Any advice would be helpful!! I subscribe

[@countrysidecoffins2925]

I planted my seeds on 8/17/20 and the Aristrata took off really fast, then the other 3 were sloooooooowwwwww but are finally starting to sprout lol 😂

[@countrysidecoffins2925]

Sad day. My cat ate my plants 😩🤦🏼‍♀️

[@justaweirdo6669]

This gives me hope! Ive planted them on december 28 and my pinus aristata and picea mariana have started to grow but i was worried the other 2 wouldnt grow too. Its January 2 today so i guess it hasnt been a while yet so im not so bad. But only one of each sprout do you think i will get more eventually? How long did yours get to grow?

[@countrysidecoffins2925]

@@justaweirdo6669 it took mine like 2/3 months before I saw anything even begin to happen. First I got one and I it was looking really good then a couple weeks later another popped up and then 2 more and then 2 died and now I have the two healthy ones still chugging along in the growing sesh that is life lol I say be patient and just keep watering them. You could have the seeds too deep also, I just kinda sprinkled mine on top of the soil then did a little Emerald style “add a little sprinkle of soil on top BAM!” And then I was patient lol

[@jarrefan1990-tr7ki]

I live in Fort Worth Texas what should I do when growing the Bonsai Trees

[@PlantzNThings]

there are so many factors, first it depends on what type of plant you are growing as a Bonsai (Bonsai is a growing style and not a type of plant) if the plant is hardy to your zone you can keep it outside all year.. but if its a tropical plant it can be grown indoors as a houseplant. if this is something you're interested in trying i would grab a book or 2 on the subject.

[@matthewcondon1985]

I just saw those at Hobby Lobby the other day.

[@PlantzNThings]

Fun!! They have several different kits... I hope they develop more. how much were they in Hobby Lobby?

The pines are the order you read them in video, Black Spruce,Bristle-cone, then Japanese black pine. All three can grow where you live

[@PlantzNThings]

Thank you :) I'm looking forward to planting them in the garden. I think I'll still keep them trimmed... but not as a bonsai

As a fellow Canadian I would suggest a grow light unless you have a super bright window..

Bill, could the trees from this kit grow outside here in Quebec?

@@francklie6568 I hear the Japanese black pine is hardy to z6. but the other 2 should be fine for your zone. the Jacaranda would not be hardy

[@AliStClair-lv5kr]

@@simpleton2090 yeah when I bought my kit I guess I didn't realize that bonzai trees are literally just trees unless you shape it and force it to stay small. And it will be years until you can even do that, let alone get it to look like a tree. Lol
