# Hi Everyone, I bought some bonsai cherry blossom tree seeds and have…

_Posted by NorahtheRohrer on 2025-01-07_

Hi Everyone,  
I bought some bonsai cherry blossom tree seeds and have had them in my fridge trying to germinate. They were in there 6-8 weeks but doesn’t look like they’ve even begun to spring. Any ideas on how to get them going so I can plant them.  
Thanks in advance! #needhelp

You can see what date I planted. All I did was soak 3 seeds in distilled water for 24 hours on the counter, the next day I planted and had no problem

Did you use a specific type of soil?

It came with this..: you put it in a bowl with 3/4 cup distilled water and wait 10 mins and then you have your soil. They are called “ Peat Pellets “
