Hey guys just going to make a quick post, I'm probably going to make another one soon because this one is just too short and more personal than informational. Regardless, this post is pretty exciting! At one of my schools, there is a Japanese Maple tree, and this week I found that by it were a lot of seedlings, just sprouted. Some of them had just gotten their first set of true leaves. So Today two friends and I dug them up, potted them, and adopted them! I'm a little anxious to see how they do, I'm hoping that at least most of them make it into sapling-hood.
Acer palmatum is a great tree for bonsai, and there are many different cultivars of Japanese Maple. I will edit this and put what type of seedlings I have when I find out. Here are some pictures.
These are the seedlings I took today. All 38 of them. For care I watered them, which is what you should do to most transplants, and I'm giving them lots of shade. I will try to transplant them into separate pots when they are a little bigger. right now there are 1-3 seedlings in each pot. I also gave them some Miracle-Gro liquid plant fertilizer.

These are two seedlings that I took earlier in the week. They are still doing good! The small one had only had it's first set of true leaves.

Anyhow, Thanks for reading! I will try to come up with another post this weekend, since this one was more of a rant. I will post more updates on these seedlings, maybe like once every two to three weeks. Make sure to share this page with any friends who might like plants or mycology, and have a great weekend!
