I got a Sequoia seed kit for Christmas. 
I finally cut the plastic tube it's been growing in so they can breathe a bit.

Very cool! I’ve always read that the germination rate on sequoia seeds in the kits was very hit or miss…looks like you hit. Healthy looking little buggers too, what type of sequoia are they?

Omono
Sequoiadendron giganteum I think.

I also was given one of these kits and I also had three germinate. One got picked off by squirrels this year

Dang squirrels! They've killed a few of my other trees.

They've grown a bit in 2 weeks!

Any updates for us? (I assume a repot is coming)

They grew a bit more after that pic was taken, but not a ton. They are kind of purple-ish now for our SoCal "winter".
Yes, the repot is coming in a month or so! I'll be separating the 3 and giving them room to grow for a while.

I'm looking forward to seeing how yours come out, I just ordered a seedling so I'm hoping for some of the same success you've had so far

Look at that growth! That's fantastic seems their dormancy in winter still barely slows down their tremendous growth!

Repotted today! I hope for some good growth this year.

After my whole shelf rack fell and the pot above broke, I scrambled to repot everything using the pile of mixed soil from all the pots. It looks like the have survived and are now starting to put up new growth. Some of the old branches have died. Maybe because of being repotted twice in one season.

Some of last year's growth is turning brown to black. I'm not sure what that is.
Should I cut it off???
The good news is that there's plenty of new, green growth.

Appears to be bronzing.. I wouldn't think you'd see that in California.. typically caused by parts getting too cold, they should be fine

I just moved my coastal redwoods from a cold room into my greenhouse. They were really starting to bronze from the near zero temps in the Midwest. Kind of got worried for them. But now I will have to keep them warm until spring…. My area just got moved up from 6b to 7a a few years back, which is the edge of their zone…. I REALLY want to put one in the ground to see if it will make it here in the future…..

The largest one is still alive! The two smaller ones were never very healthy. I'll have to take a pic and post it.
