The notice for sale I see is for a tree gardenia, but the pictures are for a seqoia. Does the Johnsteen company sell gardenia trees?

Amazon mixed two plant listings together into one. Jonsteen does not currently sell Gardenia, nor have we ever. Thank you for being so observant and taking the initiative to double check.

Should I plant this in a pot and leave it in the house for the first winter to let it get a little bigger?

3-5 galon, plastic pot, soil that is well ammended for excellent drainage (1/3 perlite 2/3 simple potting mix), no catch tray beneath the pot, let all excess water flow away. These guys are sensitive to being in wet soils for too long so your soil mix is very important. When watering you want to saturate the soil then let it dry down almost completely throughout the entire pot. You can over winter your seedling in a garage, unheated greenhouse, basement, screen porch. Don't bring it into your nice warm house...it will not like it. Out of doors, you just want to be sure that the roots will not freeze, and locate for protection from wind...cold is fine, snow (an insulator) is fine, but cold + wind/wind chill is too much.

What type of potting soil should i have ready for my giant sequoia before it arrives?

Almost any potting soil is fine. Also add about a third top soil. These are very thirsty, don't let it dry out. I would start with a two gallon pot. Leave in pot at least 18 months to allow the roots to become well established. Mine are about 30ft and took 9 years. The longer their in the ground the faster they grow. Love my trees.
