Metasequoia Dawn Redwood Seeds for Bonsai Growth are a challenging germination project. These seeds have naturally low germination rates, reported as low as 5%. To maximize your success, consider purchasing more than one packet and following all steps carefully.

Best results come with a greenhouse and a heat mat or steady room temperature away from direct sun. Sow in a 12 Cavity Greenhouse or Planter with Humidity Dome, using Soil Pellets or Soil Pods and Liquid Fertilizer. Pre-soak the seeds for 24 hours in water, then place them in a fridge in a bag with paper towels, vermiculite, or perlite for 2–3 weeks before planting. Once seedlings emerge, remove the humidity dome and provide bright light from grow lights or a sunny windowsill. These seeds are for the 2026 growing season.
