This will really take a long time but I'm certain in a couple of years I would be able to come back and show you an awesome cherry blossom bonsai.
Today I prepared 11 seeds I bought online. 5 seeds went straight to the freezer to stratify them. 3 seeds are in the regular wet paper towel method. However, for the last 3 seeds I decided to try something different. Instead of a wet towel, I used perlite in a resealable plastic bag to retain appropriate moisture and germinate the seeds at a steady pace.
At this point I would be happy if only one of them sprouts and becomes a healthy bonsai tree. It will certainly take a couple of years for sure, but I'm in no rush.
I hope you liked this post and stay tuned for more updates.

I really liked your topic. It will be interesting to see the results of your work! I first planted the seeds of Adenium, I'll try to grow bonsai. This I will share later and attach the photo. I voted for you and follow you.
Thank you very much, I'm excited to see your results as well:)
:-)
Good luck with those, they sure will be challenging. I've just shared my latest project - Chinese Juniper.
I was about to say the exact same thing! You took the words right out of my mouth.
Are you two guys friends outside of steemit?
I hope your bonsai trees bring you success, wealth, and happiness.
Nope, never met. I literally just searched bonsai on Steemit to see if anyone had posted something useful and found an article @bonsaiaustin did. Followed him as a result of the great content.
@bonsaiaustin definitely has the advantage! He's got it in his account name.
One of us should make a bonsai banner to highlight the growing community here on steemit.
If I could look at a new photo of bonsai trees every day, I would be happy to toss my votes that way. I'm sure others searching for bonsai would too. The stock photos get old after a while, and I enjoy seeing people sharing their own work too.
Yeah, too true about the stock photos. I suppose that's the effect of having to grow them from scratch. On a side note, and excuse my ignorance, (I've only been on Steemit for three of four days) but how do we make a banner? Think that would be a great idea and we would all be able to link up and learn and grow from each other's experience.
Try using the search feature on how to make a banner on steemit.
If we wanted to form some sort of community around the #bonsai tag, eventually people are going to want to organize things. Most groups start with a discord server to meet and chat, and share posts so they can upvote each other.
Not sure if I had done it right but either way, let's have a go: https://steemit.com/nature/@imagendevoz/community-time-to-connect-establish-and-grow-the-bonsai-community-on-steemit
