The Dawn Redwood tree is a deciduous native of China; until living specimens were found there in 1941, it was thought extinct and only known from fossil records. It is suitable as a beginner bonsai, though, so don't be put off by its long backstory. By growing this plant, you'll be growing a little piece of prehistory! In nature, it grows very upright and tall, and as a bonsai it is usually kept in the same upright growth shape. Relatively large for bonsai trees, you will have to keep an eye on the strong growth of this species. This hardy species is best grown outdoors, but be careful of harsh outdoor frosts which can damage roots in shallow pots. If you need to grow it indoors, make sure it has a sunny spot and gets some decrease in temperature over winter - an unheated conservatory would be a perfect spot.

Scientific Name
Metasequoia glyptostroboides (like Sequoia's tree with carved cones)

Synonyms: Metasequoia neopangaea, Metasequoia honshuenensis

This plant had been identified from fossilised remains and was thought to be extinct until live specimens were identified in China in 1941.

Common Name
Dawn Redwood Bonsai, Dawn Redwood, Water Fir, Water Larch, Metasequoia, Living Fossil

Origin
This plant is native to Southeast and South-Central China

Light
Your Dawn Redwood will grow best in a sunny spot, but should be shaded from the harshest summer sun to prevent its leaves being scorched.

Water
Keep the soil moist, especially in summer while the tree is actively growing. You'll need to reduce this over winter, and make sure that the soil is never soggy, as trees in puddles can get rotten roots. In summer, it can be easy to underwater this thirsty plant; don't worry too much if the leaves become crispy, though, as it should grow new branches quickly enough to replace them.

Humidity
This tree will benefit from above-average humidity to help keep its soil moist and its leaves happy.

Soil
Use a well-draining but moisture retentive soil - Ficus soil is usually good for bonsais - to ensure your bonsai gets the right amount of water. Repot every two years. The roots will grow quickly and start to push the plant out of the pot; you will need to prune the roots each time to keep it bonsai-sized.

Feeding
Fertilise in spring and summer; you can use a high-nitrogen fertiliser in spring, but feed mor cautiously in summer so you don't get too much growth. No feeding is necessary in autumn and winter.

Pruning
Pinch back new growth in spring and summer to maintain shape and encourage ramification. Structural pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before buds break. Avoid heavy pruning once in active growth.

Wiring
Can be wired during dormancy (late winter) while branches are flexible. Check regularly to avoid wire cutting into the bark – Metasequoia grow quickly.

Temperature
This bonsai species is hardy, and is best grown outdoors; it can stand temperatures down to -15°C, but it should be protected from frost which can damage it. Protection in a greenhouse or unheated conservatory should work well over winter.

Pet-safe
Yes, your bonsai is non-toxic to pets, though eating large amounts will not be great for pets' tummies or your plant.

Sprouts Top Tips
Prune the shoot tips 2-3 times a year to keep the branches compact.
Your Dawn Redwood will benefit from seasonal weather and temperature changes so you can either grow it outdoors in a sheltered spot, or indoors where it gets plenty of sun in summer and some cold in winter.
Dropping of leaves in autumn is completely normal; this conifer is deciduous and will hibernate with no leaves over winter before sprouting fresh in spring.

The empowerment tool we all needed!!
Format: Paperback
Wow, okay where do I start?? Before I opened the book, I had a general sense of yoga and chakras. Being a Reiki practitioner, but a fairly new one, I’ve learned how critical balancing chakras is to feeling healthy and pain-free, but I never took enough time to work on my own. This book makes it so easy to understand what can be sometimes complex ideas for people new to the space of wellness and yoga. There’s truly never a dull moment and I love the option to read page by page or flip to the section you need. It’s extremely well written and I loved the intro from Masuda. She shared her personal story which was so relatable and further inspired me to start my journey of a balanced chakra system that I know will only aid me further in my life’s purpose. It’s also pretty cool to know I’ll have a tool in the form of this book to reference anytime I might be experiencing symptoms of a chakra that needs my attention. It’s literally a life/soul manual, who doesn’t need that? So grateful Masuda chose to share her tools and practice with so many all over the world. This is the ultimate gift for anyone in your life! I can’t wait to tell more people about it.

A must-have for anyone working with energy or curious about chakras!
Format: Paperback
What I especially love is how accessible and fun this book is. Masuda breaks down complex ideas in a grounded and magical way that makes the chakras feel approachable; whether you're brand new to the concept or have been working with them for years. The integration of Kundalini yoga is an added gift, providing embodied tools for activating and aligning energy that I now use regularly. As a Reiki Master, I've spent years working with the chakra system through the lens of energy healing. Unlock the Power of Your Chakras offered me a fresh and expansive perspective that deepened both my personal practice and the way I support others in my business. Truly a beautiful, empowering resource I’ll return to again and again.

A Perfect Guide to Chakras!!
Format: Paperback
I don't usually write reviews... but as a newbie to Chakras and yoga who was curious to learn more, I’m so thankful that this book found me. Mohamadi has created a beautifully written, well organized, and comprehensive guide to Chakras. I wholeheartedly believe that readers with any level of knowledge of the subject would find that this book has a way of expanding the mind and nourishing one’s appreciation and awareness of the power of Chakras. It is written in a format that is both easy to understand and engaging. And for all my fellow visual learners, the illustrations are not only informative and color coded for clarity, they’re also stunning to look at. Now that I have a better understanding of the way in which Chakras influence so many aspects of my well-being, I am really looking forward to incorporating the yoga poses, meditations, and mantras into my everyday life!

Unlocked! 🙏🏼
Format: Paperback
I did not know what to expect with this book; though Ive spent years studying Eastern spiritual traditions and have been incorporating them into my life with more vigor and earnestness in recent times. Masuda Mohamadi is one of those not so frequent surprises; her writing and genuine enthusiasm for the topic of chakras is of the kind that can actively, in real time, spark a new course of action in the reader. The book is truly inspiring and also full of illustrations and pictures that are helpful in grasping concepts and poses. Needless to say, I highly recommend! 🙏🏼

Your one-stop shop for chakra awareness - perfectly concise and at the same time, expansive.
Format: Paperback
The author has an incredible talent and magically manages to put into words (and pictures) the key elements of our chakra system, why they matter, the force of good they can create, and more. She invites us into a practice and bank of knowledge she's an expert in, and facilitates our own discovery at a next level, no matter where we're starting from. Highly recommend this as your key source for knowledge in this area. SO useful and user-friendly!
