Preparation
Start by placing the provided sieve over the drainage hole in the bonsai pot to prevent soil loss and ensure proper drainage. Make sure your bonsai starter pot is clean and has sufficient drainage for healthy root development.

Adding Soil
Fill the pot with the bonsai potting mix, leaving about an inch (2–3 cm) of space from the rim. The soil should have a good balance of organic material and grit to retain moisture while allowing proper aeration.

Planting the Seed
Follow the instructions on how to prepare the seeds in the packaging.

Adding Gravel
Spread a thin layer of gravel on top of the soil. This helps retain moisture, prevents soil erosion during watering, and adds a tidy finish to your bonsai pot.

Watering
Water gently until water begins to drain from the bottom. The soil should be evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Using the 1L Transparent Container as a Greenhouse

Prepare the Greenhouse
Use the provided 1L transparent container as a mini greenhouse. Place it over the bonsai pot to trap warmth and humidity around the seed, creating ideal conditions for germination.

Ventilation
To prevent excessive moisture buildup, carefully make small holes in the container’s lid or sides to allow for air circulation. This reduces the risk of mold or fungal growth.

Placing the Greenhouse
Set the container snugly over the pot, ensuring it rests securely to maintain a warm, humid environment. If needed, weigh down the edges gently with small stones.

Monitoring Conditions
Place the setup in bright, indirect sunlight. Regularly check the soil moisture, ensuring it stays moist but not soggy. If excessive condensation forms inside the container, temporarily remove it to allow airflow.

Germination and Acclimation
Once the seed germinates and the seedling grows, gradually increase ventilation by opening the container or removing it for short periods. Eventually, remove the greenhouse entirely to let the seedling grow under normal conditions.

This method maintains consistent humidity and warmth, closely mimicking the natural environment necessary for successful germination of Acacia burkei seeds.
