Setup, Compatibility & Care
When planting your Thuja Whipcord, ensure you select a location that receives full sun to partial shade. If planting in a container, use a high-quality, free-draining potting mix to avoid waterlogging the roots.
- Planting: Dig a hole twice the width of the 2.5L pot and place the plant at the same soil depth it occupied in its nursery pot.
- Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. During the first growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until the plant is established.
- Pruning: Little to no pruning is required; however, you may remove any dead or damaged branches in early spring to maintain a clean shape.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy development.
