Redwood (Sequoia Sempervirens) Bonsai Seeds

10-15% germination rate

Quantity: 10 Seeds

Instructions for Germinating Redwood Seeds:

We recommend that Redwood Tree seeds are placed in the refrigerator, along with some bonsai soil or potting soil, in a sealed ziplock bag for 90 days before planting. The soil must be kept moist during this time so check the ziplock bag occasionally and mist with water when necessary.



After 90 days, your Redwood Tree seeds can be placed in a paper cups or bonsai pots with a high quality bonsai soil mixture. Water soil thoroughly before planting seeds.

Sow seeds approximately 1/8" deep. Cover the pot with plastic, and put in a warm, bright place (75° to 85° F). Due to their tender nature, seedlings cannot withstand dry conditions. Water and mist regularly to ensure moist (but not soaking wet) growing conditions.

Plant 3-6 seeds per container (germination rates for this species are lower than normal) and pinch off undesired seedlings after the first set of true leaves appear.
