Pine Beach

How do I plant this Japanese black pine bonsai?

Ok for Christmas I got a really nice Bonsai kit and it came with a green pot and drainage dish, four soil pellets ( each about the size of a half dollar and im guessing that I add water and it expands?) And what I can only guess is 4? 5? Black pine seeds... The kit came with no instructions what so ever! It just had a little paper that said history about bonsai trees and said "Good luck!" HELP!

1. You've got a long wait ahead of you. Soak the pelets in water. Put a seed in each pellet. Wait. When your seedlings are mature enough, begin the bonsai process. This will take Years. You're better off to start with a mature plant (juniper is easy) to bonsai. Here's more: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=bonsai+techniques&ygmasrchbtn=web+search&fr=ush-ans
