Hi, so after buying a few bonsais who were already a moderate size, I decided to grow one from a seed and one out of three seeds began to sprout after two weeks but I’m confused whether this is supposed to be a root and should I burrow it more under the surface because I don’t see a green stem which should develop in a tree. H elp me figure out which part this is and how I should continue. Thanks in advance!

These are the "leaves" of the seed. The root knows to grow down and is probably already a cm into your pot. Over the next days the green part should push itself up out of the soil and they open up more to two oval green thick "leaves". Between them the growing tip emerges.

Unless you are in the southern hemisphere you have not picked the ideal time for growing from seed though. Winter is upon us and during that time it is much harder to keep them happy. Make sure you give it plenty of light and a relatively cool position.

So I should just leave it as it is right now? And I know it’s not the ideal time of the year, but I ordered a full spectrum lamp that will hopefully provide enough light for the plant.
