text: i have redwood tree seeds, a pot and some soil. now what? how much water does it need and how often? does it need a lot of light? redwoods require moisture and should be watered as much as fruit trees. young trees also need their needles to be misted from time to time. in hotter climates, watering and misting should be frequent-- two to three times per week.   directions:   1. insert the redwood seeds 1/2 inch deep in the top of a peat pot filled with potting soil.   2. place this pot in a plastic bag and seal it with a rubber band.   3. keep moist in a cool area with indirect light. seeds may take up to eight weeks to germinate and must not become dry during this period. however, do not over-water.   4. when seedlings are 2 inches high, plant the peat pot in a larger container with potting soil. mist the needles often, but don't over-water the roots.   5. once the tree reaches five feet or more, it can be planted in the ground.
