Help! What to do with seedling?

[spandit]

Out of all the royal poinciana seeds I planted, only one has germinated. It's currently in a little peat pot under a cover but how do I make the transition to outside?

Open the back door, be brave, take a big step.. There you go, you're outside now. That wasn't so bad, was it? :-)

I'd put it outside in dappled shade for a few hours each day, before bringing it back inside, gradually increasing the amount of time each day. Beware of full sun and keep it watered. Known as hardening off.

Don't think it's hardy outdoors in UK. See RBG Kew

I'll try to keep it inside as a pot plant then. I'll look up bonsai!

It will grow much better outside over the summer and then come inside late autumn to prevent getting frosted.
