# Hi everyone! I am growing a little sequoia from a seed. It seems that…

Hi everyone!  
I am growing a little sequoia from a seed.  
It seems that all is proceeding well but I am not sure if it is time to move it to a proper pot. If not, can anyone tell me how to understand when that will be?

Your sequoia is ready to move. Start with something close to the same size or 1 inch bigger in diameter. Be careful not to disturb the roots when transferring it because seedlings are delicate. Start giving it some gentle airflow (to simulate wind) to strengthen its stem

Thanks! How deep should the new pot be?

#### Waspinator replied on 2025-07-15

About as deep as it is wide. You'll want to start training the roots to go outward instead of down, but that can start at the next repot. For now, it just needs to survive its first move and give you some roots to work with

Thanks a lot!
