How to save thuja if it starts to dry out: important tips
Thuja dryness can be caused by various factors, so it is important to take measures to eliminate the cause, as well as provide optimal conditions for restoring its health. SSPDaily has told you about several steps to take to save the plant.
Watering
Make sure the thuja gets enough moisture. Lack of water can lead to drying out of the needles and general weakness of the bush. Water the thuja regularly, especially during periods of drought, but avoid excessive moisture, as excessive moisture can cause root rot.
Soil
Ensure a good drainage system to avoid moisture retention in the roots of the plant. Add compost or organic fertilizer to improve the soil structure and provide the necessary nutrients for the bush.
Fertilizing
Fertilize thuja with a fertilizer specifically designed for conifers. Fertilizer can help restore nutrients to the soil and promote plant health.
Protection against diseases and pests
It is important to regularly check your thuja for signs of disease or pests. If you find problems, use appropriate plant care products or contact a horticultural specialist for advice or direct assistance.
