How to fertilize Dawn Redwood

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dawn Redwood after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Dawn Redwood Leaves I just got this dawn redwood and straight out of the box it didn't look too healthy. I'm not too familiar with identifying leaf problems yet. I isolated it in my car because I was terrified that it would kill my giant sequoia or monkey puzzle trees. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be and is it possible to be contagious to my other plants? #dawnredwood
