Thuja Smaragd needs sufficient soil moisture so that the tree of life grows well and quickly. If the soil becomes too dry, the tree dries up and dies. How do you water Thuja Smaragd correctly?
How should you water Thuja Smaragd correctly?
To water Thuja Smaragd properly, you should water regularly in the morning hours for the first few years, without wetting the leaves and trunk. Make sure there is sufficient soil moisture and water on frost-free days in winter to prevent drying out.
Water Thuja Smaragd sufficiently
The Thuja Smaragd does not like dry substrate, nor does waterlogged soil.
Especially in the first few years, you need to water Thuja Smaragd regularly until the roots have developed well.
If possible, water in the morning hours to prevent fungal diseases. If possible, avoid wetting the leaves and trunk.
Water the tree of life even in winter
In very dry winters there is a risk that the tree of life will dry out. In strong winter sun, the thuja evaporates a lot of moisture through its needles. You therefore have to water the hedge every now and then, even in winter on frost-free days.
Tip
You should be careful when fertilizing Thuja Smaragd, especially if you use mineral fertilizers. If these are not given correctly, there is a risk of over-fertilization of the hedge.
