Care Guide for Bonsai Metasequoia – Dinosaur Tree in Ceramic Planter

☀️ Light

Scale: ☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Bonsai Metasequoia thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate some direct sunlight during the morning or late afternoon. Ensure it’s not exposed to harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Water

Scale: 💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Keep the soil evenly moist, ensuring it never dries out completely nor becomes soggy. Watering is best done when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

🌡️️ Temperature

Scale: 🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (Average)

The Dawn Redwood bonsai prefers average room temperatures, between 15°C to 25°C. Avoid placing it near draughty windows or heat sources like radiators.

💦 Humidity

Scale: 💦💦▫️ (Moderate)

Average home humidity levels are adequate for this bonsai. However, during drier months or in particularly dry environments, occasional misting can help mimic its natural humid habitat.

💦 Repotting

Repotting may be done every few years to ensure vibrant health. Use Highland Moss premium houseplant potting mix or akadama soil, which provide excellent drainage and support healthy root development.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

The Bonsai Metasequoia is not toxic to pets, but it’s best to keep it out of reach to prevent your pets from nibbling on its delicate leaves.

🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

Perfect for desks, shelves, or windowsills. Make sure the location offers suitable light without direct harsh sun. Its stunning appearance makes it a great focal point in living rooms or studies.

🌬️🪴 Air Purifying

While primarily admired for its beauty and historical significance, the Bonsai Metasequoia also contributes to air purification, making it a functional addition to your home or office.

✨ Other Plant Features

Each Bonsai Metasequoia is unique with its own natural character, thanks to individual hand-selection. It is not only a captivating houseplant but also a piece of living history, adding an extraordinary touch to your indoor garden collection.

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.
