Hey guys! I haven't been on in awhile. I've taken up a new hobby (I still love CPs though! :)
I've lately been growing bonsais! :) I just wanted to know if you guys have any info on growing bonsai seedlings (I know there are technically no such things as bonsai seeds just trees you train, but I wanna know like what training you put it through after it first germinates. Please help ASAP :)

I would let it grow for a while before you start training it. At that stage all you need is the bonsai clippers and possibly wire. Then you can cut at the branches or let them grow longer before you train it. If you cut of the tips of the branches, it should grow thicker with more leaves if you want. Good luck, and remember to keep it outdoors if you want it to live.
