I've had this coast redwood that has been growing vigorously in a deep pot for the last three years from a sappling. This spring I moved it into an Anderson flat style pot to start moving into the direction of eventual bonsai pots. When I did it went from a very organic mix with lava rock in it to being filled in with APL. I also cut back a lot of roots to get it into a shallower pot. It was maybe a 50% root reduction.
I got a good spring flush out of it. But now it's starting to have red brown needles. It gets full sun and is sitting on my deck. I water twice daily.
Some parts are more affected than others. I would say the farther from the roots the more brown it's getting.

- More shade
- Cutting it back because I didn't really trim it during repotting.
- I don't think I'm over or under watering but
