  We study dynamical condensation process in a holographic superconductor model
with anisotropy. The time-dependent numerical solution is constructed for the
Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory with complex scalar in asymptotic AdS
spacetime. The introduction of dilaton field generates the anisotropy in
boundary spatial directions. In analogy of isotropic case, we have two black
hole solutions below certain critical temperature $T_c$, the anisotropic
charged black hole with and without scalar hair, corresponding respectively to
the supercooled normal phase and superconducting phase in the boundary theory.
We observe a nonlinear evolution from a supercooled anisotropic black hole
without scalar hair to a anisotropic hairy black hole. Via AdS/CFT
correspondence, we extract time evolution of the condensate operator, which
shows an exponential growth and subsequent saturation, similar to the isotropic
case. Furthermore, we obtain a nontrivial time evolution of the boundary
pressure, while in isotropic case it remains a constant. We also generalize
quasinormal modes calculation to anisotropic black holes and shows scalar
quasinormal modes match with relaxation time scale of the condensate operator.
In addition, we present the final temperature and anisotropic pressure as
functions of initial temperature and background anisotropy.
