Very I formative video! Thank you! When initially sowing the seeds (after cold stratification) what medium would you use? Just the bonsai soil mix that you have mentioned in the video? Or does the initial seedling development require something more complicated than that?
I use a mix of 3 perlite/2 peat moss, it actually works pretty well for the 1st year of growing, mine are all from cuttings under grow lights on heat mats, I get some really great Nebari and very low branch clusters like Mark says.
Complimenti per tutto! Proverò le mie piantine di pino nel colapasta..una domanda: ma nel colapasta le radici non soffrono troppo il caldo in piena estate quando la temperatura è molto alta e troppo freddo in inverno quando la temperatura è molto bassa? Grazie.
Thanks Maurizio! In summer it will depend on your growing medium and how often you can water. The objective is for it to dry out faster so you can water faster which means you can fertilise more. In winter if you are getting freezing temperatures you may need to put them into something bigger with media too in order to buffer. You could wrap with a towel or something. However how do you protect your other bonsai in the cold, as the colander grown ones would be treated the same I would suggest.
Early spring is best. In my experience stratification does not affect germinate rate but it does seem to cause that all the seeds germinate at the same time, whereas without stratification the timing is much more sporadic.
You referring to treating the seedling as a cutting? Simple place back into a sandy mix is fine. You push it all the way in, so the needles effectively act as a support. Keep out of the wind and direct sun of course, and keep moist at all times. Many thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video! If you do not make a cutting, but simply completely remove the taproot a couple of months after germination, will the result be the same?
No it will not be same. But maybe it does not matter for you. If you make small tree then better to use cutting method. If you make big tree then not so important. For both big or small tree cutting method is better because give best root spread.
Interesting idea but I don’t think it’s a good idea to use the soil from around the tree as it will compact. There are other soils which are acidic and there are ways of making soil acidic. However pines seem to be quite tolerant of pH and I don’t think you need to intentionally make it more acidic as all growing medium becomes acidic through use of fertilizers
hi there awesome video.could you possibly please help..i have 2 small seedlings .14 months old..Scots pine..where can i find advice on next steps..they are roughly 1.5 inch of hard brown thin trunk and another 5 inch of green bushy needles. they are also in seperate pots..can u please help. best wishes dan
why no one is talking about germination to 5months of seedlings that is the toughest part. i have been trying for second year now. first year 99% of plants died between 1to 6months. mostly of root rot or critters eating them off... bugs, mice etc...
I’m not quite sure why there isn’t much content on this. I usually don’t have problems with germination. Try this blog I wrote. www.bonsaitree.co.za/blogs/tree-talk/japanese-black-pine-from-seed-year-1

Definitely know what I'm doing in the spring time
Great! Did you do so?
Thanks for making that easy to understand I love the Japanese red pine I got some seeds and I’m gonna give it a try
Hope you enjoy Juan!
Wow. Thanks for sharing this cool video. Did not know you could do that, I will be keeping up with your channel as well.
Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy all the videos I post. 🎥

Hi, which period of year is best to seminate japanese black pine seeds? And do you recommend stratification of the seeds first? Thank you
Early spring is best. In my experience stratification does not affect germinate rate but it does seem to cause that all the seeds germinate at the same time, whereas without stratification the timing is much more sporadic.
how exactly did you replant that pine after completely removing its roots? and into the same medium it came out of?? great vid by the way!!
You referring to treating the seedling as a cutting? Simple place back into a sandy mix is fine. You push it all the way in, so the needles effectively act as a support. Keep out of the wind and direct sun of course, and keep moist at all times. Many thanks for watching!

@@TerryErasmusbonsai thank you!
What medium should the aeeds germinate in and how moist should they stay while waiting for germination? Thanks
We use the Professional seedling mix which we sell. Only moist and not wet or they will rot.
@@TerryErasmusbonsai what's in the mix is the question.
It’s a specific kind of peat and a fine perlite particle.
Could it happen that as I grow the sacrifice branch, the lower branches die off?
Very good question. No. Unless you neglect to get sufficient light to the lower branches by thinning needles.
@@TerryErasmusbonsai Hi, thanks for the quick answer!
i'm assuming the medium is acidic? could i use the soil from around the tree i found the pine cones?

Perfect video.. 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Brilliant!
Many thanks Dave!
very informative
Glad it was helpful!
I don't understand what you mean my doing a "root cutting where you completely cut all the roots off across the stem"?!
Hi Mari, see this article I wrote for more information: bit.ly/2Viz8BR
Wonders
👍🏻😊
Bravo
Thank you , Arno!

Bad title. At no point was it shown how to grow from seeds. You only show the plants that have grown from these seeds.
I apologise that the title was not to your preference.
