When should I plant my bonsai seeds? I'm a beginner, any good tips to grow a successful bonsai?

Do we need to soppy the seeds in anyway? How do we caring for it?
bonsais do not come from seeds; bonsais have been done from normal sized plants, as well as the roots as well as branches have been embellished to attempt their growth;
you should unequivocally buy the great book all about Bonsai; Sunset books has multiform … as well as review all it has to contend prior to we enter upon upon this lifelong project; bonsais take effort, time, work as well as study.

David–First of all, do you know what kind of seed it is? It could be a conifer, or a deciduous tree, or even a flowering shrub, and the conditions for germination change for each species. But for most bonsai plants from temperate zones, you might want to stratify the seed. Put the seeds in a plastic bag with some moist potting soil, close and seal it, and place in the refrigerator. I usually start checking the seeds for sprouts after 3 weeks. If nothing is happening after a month, pull the bag out to room temp for a week, and then back in the fridge. Keep cycling between cold and warm for up to six months, and if nothing by then, plant the whole mess in the garden (and mark the spot so you don't lose it) and let the seeds go through a normal winter on their own. Hope that helps!

FIRST, seeds are not an easy way to grow trees, but ask the seller for specific instructions. A RESPONSIBLE seller will be able to give you excellent instructions. There are several different ways to prepare seeds for planting, so get information on "propagation."
SECOND, asking a person how to care for a bonsai is like asking a pilot how to fly a plane. There are 100's of species of plants used for bonsai and almost as many different ways to take care of them. Once you have determined the species of the tree, you're welcome to send me email at:
