Elegant, soft, and full of prehistoric energy—Metasequoia glyptostroboides, or Dawn Redwood, is a deciduous conifer with light, feathery foliage and a striking upright form. As a bonsai, it brings structure and serenity in miniature, complete with a seasonal leaf-drop show.

Plant Care

Light:  Prefers full sun to bright indirect light. Outdoors in a sunny position is ideal during spring to early autumn.

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially in the growing season. Never let it fully dry out. In winter, reduce watering slightly but don’t let the roots go bone-dry.

Temperature: Fully hardy outdoors. If kept inside, give it a cool winter rest around 5–10°C to mimic seasonal changes.

Potting: Our A Sandy Loam mix works beautifully—well-draining, stable, and ideal for woody roots. Repot every couple of years in early spring before new growth.

Hot tips: This bonsai drops its leaves in autumn—don’t panic! It’s totally normal. Keep it somewhere it can experience the seasons, and it’ll leaf out again in spring. Light pruning in winter helps maintain shape.

Pet Friendly: YES
