First attempt to try and grow a clementine bonsia from seed.
Dec 24 to Jan 15 2017
Germinated 3 seeds. It was a Labour of learning love and tears but I managed to get 3 seeds out of the 15 I tried. It's my fist time so I'm happy I came out with 3 little babies.
I fondly call them Tiny Teeny and Nameless. (Couldn't think of a name)
Jan 15 to Jan 28 2017.
Omg leaves! Teeny has leaves.
I potted my seedlings. The aim now is to take them to my first bonsia meeting. I found a Bonsia association that meets at Toronto Botanical Gardens. Teeny looks good enough to take with me so I can show where I got so far and get some insights.
In the meanwhile we have been having very dark days ever since I potted these guys for the first time. And this has caused Teeny to grow very tall trying to find some sun. Like every concerned mom I decided to help. I researched .... and by research I mean youtubed..lol. and came up with this little set up.
The bulb is a 23W CFL daylight 1450 lumens . I bought this from Canadian Tire.
I am hoping that this will be enough light for them. We like the
