Bonsai tree sapling!  
Are you suppose to split them up or keep the seedling together?

Gently split them up otherwise they will have to compete for resources!

It depends. Anya is correct if you want to grow them all as individual bonsai. But if you want to make little bonsai forests, you’ll want to keep them in the same pot. It’s wise to make sure they’re evenly spread out, though, so they have equal resources.

Yours look so good. Mine are not that happy. I think I transplanted them too soon.
