I was gifted this bonsai starter kit, and I plan on starting it up this weekend, any tips on what I should do. they are all starters so they’re all seeds. 🌳 any advice would be appreciated.

I suggest black pine as deciduous trees are difficult to keep alive. Keeping the pine outside and water it consistently it should survive.

I think they call out a germination phase in the kit? I do recommend that as it does increase the chances on sprouting!
