Should I re pot the tree after receiving it?

I didn't and it has been growing very well. I water it every week and put it outside to get more indirect light whenever I feel like it. It has put out 10+ leaves for me.

I didn't repot because instructions stated it should be planted in a smaller pot than tree. I didn't want to risk a bigger pot. Mine is still healthy and sprouting new leaves all the time.

It might depend on the size pot you have it in. There is, however, a lot of differing info on pot size. Some say that if you have it in a smaller pot and let the roots fill the pot, then move it to a larger pot, that the tree will develop better. Others suggest a larger pot from the beginning. For most plants the pot size affects the height of the plant.

Yes. I've done it many times. Make sure you get one of those lid-lifters though so you don't pour ash or coals into the pot.

You are growing a tree in a small soap-dish-sized pot. It is a Bonsai tree basically. You grow a tree in a small pot and you get a small tree. The young plant will need sun, but when winter comes you might need to bring it inside. It comes with everything you need dirt, small pot, and seed. you will need to look up the temperatures that the pant can tolerate. When it is young it will not tolerate as much as when it is older and estalished. Also, you keep it in the pot, if you plant it outside it will grow to be a tree, full size.

No. But if U open and replant it it would be ok. Then wrapped it as a gift.

You could, although, I would probably hesitate to do so as they appeared to be shocked from the handling when shipped. It took a bit of time before I replanted into a different pot. Another thing, the picture in this caption shows a lush, more adult version of what I received, which appeared to be more a of "new" plant and more on the fragile side. I hope this helped in some way.

If your pot is bigger than the spread of the leaves, I would say yes. The spikes are supposed to be inserted into the ground/dirt at the drip line (edge) of the tree.

Hey Bruce, I bought one of these a year and a half ago. I still have it potted in the house and it is growing strong!The tree was nicely packed and the roots were in a small plastic container with a little water in it.

I used the refill box in the same manner as the wooden box. I simply placed the refill on an old plate, watered and set it on a sunny windowsill. I've reused the same refill twice. I simply plant new seeds and cover them with a bit of the mixture. I have plenty of seeds left, so now I'm going to grow them in my own potting soil.

I believe so as long as you make sure the tree is healthy and plant outdoors after any chance of frost. I have not planted mine outdoors yet but it has done very well in a large pot and has more than doubled in size since I received it.

Yes. Just dip it in some water or snuff it out in the ground or the dirt of a potted plant. They start just fine the next evening.

Don't even waste your time with trying to get it open, just send it back with an explanation and wait for one with no problems. You'll be by far, better of, and you'll have gotten what you've wanted all along, with a bit of an extra wait. Chances of damaging the one you have grow each time you consider another option. mail it! Good luck.

after you get the tree it is necessary to transplant it into a bigger pot in order for the root system to grow and expand therefore the tree will be healthier and grow

Yes, you will need to transplant it to a larger pot (I used a 5 gallon bucket with lots of holes drilled in it). But wait a few weeks before you do; the shipping process is stressful on the plant and so is re-potting, so give it some time to recover. Also, DON'T OVER WATER! I made this mistake, thinking I was pampering it; I nearly killed it. Never soak the soil fully just get it all evenly damp, let the soil dry out almost completely before you water again.

I replanted mine in a pot just one size bigger than the 4" size that it came in so I have it in a 6" pot. As it grows bigger repot into a bigger pot but a small tree in too big a pot is too much wet soil around it and might cause root rot. I live in northern Michigan and I keep mine indoors. I had mine for 2 months now, it grows pretty fast. To hand pollinate just use a Q tip or artist paint brush ( a cheap one of course). Rub the end of the brush on the yellow pollen and brush it onto the center of the same flower or another flower, I'm not quite sure but go to you tube and type in hand pollination there are lots of videos on this subject.

It is probably easier to buy another one. The plugs on different trees are not the same. Also the small metal holder at the top where you stick the from is too weak. I have bought several several trees and this part always fails. have these rewelded before you use the tree. I never bought any parts and many parts are not copatible to be exchanged with other trees.

I planted mine in a pot. The plant is a graft so the trunk is sturdier than other maples this size. I recommend asking the seller directly about this. He has been prompt and helpful in my correspondence with him.
