Tiny Terracotta Kit - Nordic Spruce

Spruce seeds take 10-20 days to sprout. Spruce will slowly grow over the course of several years.

Some seeds may fail to germinate (this is nature). If sprouts don’t appear in 3-4 weeks, the seeds may have been planted too deep, growing medium is too dry or wet, or temps are too low. In dry climates or during cooler months, consider creating a greenhouse effect by placing the empty grow medium bag over the planter. Punch a few holes for ventilation. Remove the bag once sprouts are 1” tall. Spruce trees like abundant moisture at the roots. Coconut husk growing medium should feel like a damp sponge but not be soggy. If temps outside drop below 40°F, remove planter from window to prevent cold damage. 

This Grow Kit is designed to grow a small White Spruce plant; however, in certain regions you can transplant it into the ground to grow into a full size tree. Spruce trees are native to northern regions in North America. To determine if you can transplant your spruce outside contact your state's Master Gardener Program: http://www.ahs.org/gardening-resources/master-gardeners Transplant outside into a location with partial to full sun after the threat of frost has passed, and tree sprouts are at least 6“-9” tall. Prior to transplanting, harden off plant for 5-7 days by placing it outdoors in partial sun during the day, and bringing it indoors at night.
