I bought seeds on ebay for chinese thuja. Only 1 of 6 seeds grew and this is what i have after 9 months. Its in my grow tent, in a cup of coco coir, i water it with maxigro. The first months it grew very slow.
Anyone else grow this from seed? How was it?

No, but now I want to!! She is adorable!!
Only one seed sprouting out of six sounds about right for this type. I remember reading that germination can be pretty hit or miss depending on how fresh the seeds are. Coco coir and Maxigro seem to be working for you though. I like the shape it’s forming so far.
My grown trees actually seed themselves, I just replant them elsewhere. They, don’t grow nearly as fast, though. This looks like 3yo tree at my rates.
How hard would it be to make that into a bonsai since it already looks like it. ?
I grew 20 out of 30 seeds. They grew pretty good. Had to up pot them, but once I was at a gallon sized pot it was spring so I gave them to my cousin who now has a hedge row. Its far easier to propagate them from a bought tree and plant them.
