I started growing a bonsai seed. Was doing well then suddenly died. These seeds I have must be at least 20 years old, have never been refrigerated and have been in plastic bags all of these years. I have this kit that my uncle gave my mom many years ago. So, I thought I would plant one just to see if it would germinate or not. I was so shocked to see a baby seedling about a month or two later. The vague booklet said to plant them in a mixture of vermiculite and perlite that came in the kit along with some leaf mold that also came with it. The booklet also said to water it every day. I was afraid to water so often so I watered every other day. Do you think this is why it died?? I would be so grateful for any help or advice anyone can give me.
