The potted culture of Metasequoia needs to be cultivated with a good permeable substrate to ensure sufficient light, which can be placed outdoors to receive sunlight, and maintained indoors in winter. Sufficient base fertilizer shall be applied before planting, and top dressing shall be applied properly during the growth period. Thin fertilizer shall be applied frequently, and water shall be watered thoroughly at ordinary times. In addition, prune the diseased branches and dead branches in time, and cut off the long branches.

Soil

Metasequoia like warm and humid climate conditions, most of them are located in places with gentle terrain, deep soil layer, moist or slightly stagnant water, so when choosing cultivation soil, we should choose acid mountain yellow soil or purple soil, mixed peat soil and other permeable substrate cultivation.

Illumination

Under the condition of enough light, the leaves of Metasequoia are green and green, which will make it present a vigorous scene. Therefore, it can be placed outdoors to receive sufficient light. In winter, the bonsai can be moved into the windowsill with scattered light.

Fertilization

The potted landscape of Metasequoia glyptostroboides should be moderately dwarfed, so the base fertilizer can be applied before planting. When the plant starts to grow, the fertilizer can be applied again, not too early, because too early fertilization will lead to the "indigestion" of the pile head of Metasequoia glyptostroboides. It should be noted that too much fertilizer should not be applied in the later maintenance process to ensure the normal growth of the plant. It is better to apply appropriate light liquid fertilizer. Promote the growth of fibrous roots and branches and leaves, pay attention not to hurt the roots.

Water supply

After planting, Metasequoia should be watered regularly, and adhere to the principle of "see wet when dry". One time watering should be done thoroughly.
