Growing a tree from a seed is a difficult task, but not exactly for the reasons you’d expect. You buy the seeds on the internet, and there are bad reviews. They say nothing happened, nothing grew at all. But you plant a pinch of tiny seeds in a pot you found in the backyard and follow the youtube kid’s instructions. In 2 days there are tiny sprouts.
You never thought past that step. 13 little sprouts scattered across the soil surface, but the soil is too wet and the found pot doesn’t drain properly. Still, they keep growing. You put plastic over the top and let it sit in the sunniest spot in the house so that dew collects on the inside of the plastic and they keep growing.
There’s a little mold that develops on the surface. It’s white and stringy, and the internet says it’s the drainage problem. Should you move the tiny sprouts to a different pot? Do you have a different pot? Will they survive? Nobody knows. And that’s what’s difficult. Not knowing. But in the mean time you keep watering the little things and putting them in the sun and they keep growing, and that’s really all you can do. Just maintain the practice, and wait.
