The potting soil

You shouldn't put the sequoia tree, which is sensitive at first, into the Mother Earth set. The rearing takes place in a specially made container, which you ideally cover with transparent material. This not only ensures a sufficient supply of light, but also preserves the moisture that is so important for the development of the seeds.

Optimal properties of the substrate

The sequoia loves soil rich in humus, but is primarily undemanding. For even better growth, it is advisable to enrich the substrate. Use for that

  • Clay powder
  • gravel
  • Mulch
  • Coconut fiber
  • leaves
  • or compost

The sequoia earth in the bucket keeping

If you cultivate your Seuoia in the bucket, fewer nutrients are available to it due to the limited volume. So here it is important to enrich the earth with a particularly high level of nutrients.

Avoid waterlogging in any case

Make sure the soil is loose and well drained. Under no circumstances should waterlogging develop, which would lead to root rot. If necessary, drains help to drain away the irrigation water.
