Sequoias like humus rich soil
The sequoia makes no great demands on the earth
The sequoia is native to the partly swampy forests of California. Here the earth gives him enough moisture for amazing growth. Would you like to raise a redwood tree? Here you can find out which soil is suitable and how best to enrich the substrate.
The cultivation soil
You should not put the initially sensitive redwood tree straight into the mother earth. The rearing takes place in a specially prepared container, which you ideally cover with transparent material. Not only does this provide sufficient light, it also maintains the moisture that is so important to seed development.
Optimal properties of the substrate
The sequoia loves humus rich soil, but is primarily undemanding. For even better growth, it is recommended to enrich the substrate. Use for it
The sequoia earth in the Kübelhaltung
If you cultivate your Seuoia in the tub, you will have fewer nutrients available due to the limited volume. So here it is important to enrich the soil particularly nutrient-rich.
Prevent waterlogging in any case
Pay attention to a loose, well drained soil condition. Under no circumstances should waterlogging form which leads to root rot. If necessary, drains help drain the irrigation water.
