Overview of the Process

The tree kit comes along with several seeds. It is suitable to use half of them initially and refrigerate the rest. It is crucial to give ample time for sprouting to your baby seed. On average it takes about 8 weeks, taking a little less in the winter.

Step to Plant a Tree
  1. The pea pot comes with a disk on the inside that needs to be removed
  2. The pea pot along with palette needs to be placed in a shallow dish.
  3. The next step is filling the pot with warm water followed by the expanding of the palette and filling the pot.
  4. Place half of your seeds under the soil putting the system in appropriate sunlight.
The Amount of Appropriate Moisture

The germination of seed needs moisture but be very careful of not over saturating your baby plant. The air reaches the seed when you allow it to dry. Let your seed dry on the outside while maintaining the moisture on the inside.

Winter Demands Patience

A seed inside a seed kit takes about 6-8 weeks to germinate in winter because of the lower temperatures and the angle of the sunlight. This demands significant love and patience. It is important to remember that you are growing a tree that will be a source of shade or food or both for your generation to come.

While in summer a seed can take 3-4 weeks to sprout depending upon the other independent factors.

Once, you see your seed germinate in a tree kit, you need to transfer your newly sprouted plant into a larger pot with additional soil. The new soil will bring the necessary nutrients for your plant making it easier for you to maintain the appropriate amount of moisture.

The correct method of separating your sprouts from running them under the tap water until you make everything between them very loose. The transfer of each of them into a separate container both of which should contain the soil mix and a finger-hole to allow the insertion of the plant. Take absolute care to not let the roots of your baby plant in the air even for a while.

Things to Know for the First Few Years

Deciduous trees tend to grow faster than any other species. Winter makes your sprout grow very little. Dormancy can even be witnessed in the indoor plant that is comparably sheltered from the effects of weather. The spring will resume the healthy growth of your plant along with the sprouting of new leaves and needles leaving the seed kit.

Evergreens tend to grow slower for the first few years. They need time to develop their roots and to adjust to their specific growing environment. After this, they attain a growing speed of one to half feet yearly.

Deciduous trees grow faster from their early years reaching a growing speed of several feet in a single year.

Your seedling needs to be protected from sun and wind. Placing a screen around can do the job.

Choosing Correct Time to Transplant Your Tree

Late spring tends to be the best time to plant your tree outside. Your tree should have attained a height of at least 3-5 inches before your plan the transplant of tree kit. It is also necessary to harden your seedling before the transplant. This can be done by placing it outdoors in partial shades for few days. Protecting your seedling from birds and pets is also important who might think of your new plant as a treat for them.

Watering timely, for the first few years is very important. To help the plant get through its heavy growth period, water it appropriately during spring and late fall seasons.
