The Dawn redwood is an outdoor bonsai; place it somewhere sunny, but protect it from harsh midday sun during the hottest summer days. Dawn redwood bonsai trees should be protected from frost during winter. If you expect temperatures below -5 °C, consider moving it to an unheated greenhouse, conservatory or providing insulation for the pot.

Watering

No strict schedule, watering needs vary based on climate, soil, airflow, and pot size.
We recommend using the submersion method, which we’ve detailed on our Best Way to Water a Bonsai Tree blog post.

Feeding

Feed weekly or fortnightly from March to October with Chrysal Liquid Bonsai Feed (2 ml per litre of water). Add directly to the water during submersion.

Use Naruko Slow Release Fertiliser, either sprinkled on the soil or placed in a fertiliser baskets.

Regular pruning keeps your bonsai healthy, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. During the growing season (March–September), trim back new shoots once they grow beyond 3–4 leaves, leaving the two closest leaves intact.
Wiring is best done during late autumn, when the tree’s growth naturally slows. Use wire that is approximately the same thickness as the branch. This helps gently shape and refine your bonsai’s structure over time.

Repot in early spring with a well-draining bonsai soil mix.
