I have a scots pine and a Japanese black pine seedlings indoors. They have not long germinated (one a couple of weeks, the other was the runt of a group of around 10). My question is shall I slowly acclimatise them outside or keep them in until spring? They seem to be faring better than the earlier/stronger seedlings that are outside in the mobile greenhouse which is why I questioned it. The ones indoors have half bottles over them to keep up humidity

As you have been told in the other forum get them outside and leave alone.

Last year i was seeding my Pinus Densiflora on 21-11-2013 and left them indoor till spring. I had them in à ikea indoor green house,a small one with à heatmat from à terrarium on à bright spot.they have done very well,or maybe lucky.I am going to try again,this year.

Cheers

Wow, there was me thinking they were totally unrelated species of tree at wholey different stages of growth.
