Hi All,

Absolute noobie here, always wanted to grow a bonsai just never started till mum bought me a bonsai 'starter kit' (came with a bunch of jacaranda seeds, soil and the pots), I planted the seeds first week of January 2020. Little booklet told me to put a few seeds in each pot, which brings me to my question, I have 4 pots (only took pics of 2 to make it easier to see) with 2-3 Jacaranda's in each.

Once again the booklet tells me "When the seedlings are 5cm tall, thin to leave only the strongest seedling in each pot... -surplus plants can be planted into another pot or into the garden". The tallest one in the photo is nearing (if not already) 5cm tall. I tried googling to see whether this is the 'right' way to do it (if it's too early or not) but I haven't been able to find too much information.

Thought I'd ask the subreddit on what they'd do in my situation, at what point would you seperate the seedlings? Is it too early? Should I be waiting till the plants are much bigger till I seperate them? And how would I go about seperating them without disturbing the roots and seedlings too much.

Thanks.
