Features of planting thuja spherical

If you have solved the issue with a tui spherical seedling and think about when to replant this plant, then the best do it in spring or autumn.

• The first question that must be resolved by the owner is the choice of a suitable place for this thuja. And in order not to be mistaken, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the variety you have chosen.
• Best of all, thuja, including Teddy varieties, will feel in a place that will be protected from sunlight throughout the day.
• When the issue with the site of planting is resolved, it is necessary to imagine how large this plant can grow in 5-10 years. If you decide not to be limited to one tree and plan to plant several plants, then they should be located no closer than 50 cm from each other.

How to plant

I would like to dwell on the transplant process, which is different from other plants. To perform all the necessary operations, you it may take several days, since after preparing the pit of the required dimensions, it is necessary to sustain a pause so that the soil can be saturated with oxygen. However, it is not scary if you decide not to follow the planting technology exactly and plant the plant there immediately after creating the pit.

When choosing the depth of the pit must take into account the height of the pot. During the planting of a young seedling, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the root neck is located on the same level with the soil. A large depth of the plant will not affect its survival rate. Keep in mind that the pit should be somewhat larger than the pot, since the tree will subsequently grow and the root system will need more space.

Please note that without timely feedings tree will grow quite slowly. There are varieties to which “Teddy” can be attributed, which grow beautifully on fertile soil. As a top dressing you can use peat.

Before proceeding directly to the transplant, it is necessary to thoroughly spill the plant in a pot, which will simplify for you the procedure of removing it from the container. When the seedling is in your hands, it must be placed in a pre-dug hole. Next, the root system is covered with earth. When the hole is completely filled, it is necessary to slightly press down the soil around the seedling.

After transplanting, you need to water the plants, but first you need to form a hole. So you can avoid wasting water and you can be sure that the seedling will receive it in the required amount.

If the transplant was successful, then in the future, for the thuja to grow well, you need to provide her with timely care. To do this, you need to follow the following care guidelines.

A serious danger to humans is a fungus. An effective remedy against it is a foundation solution. So that throughout the season the tree does not hurt, such treatment should be carried out several times a year.

Thuja belongs to those plants that tolerate pruning without consequences. Therefore, the owner can carry out this operation if necessary, giving the plant the most appropriate look that will fit the general style of the garden.

Sometimes there can be a situation when a plant can die off individual branches, which can lead to thinning of the crown. This can be avoided if the necessary nutritional components. Also, the formation of a lush crown is influenced by timely and sufficient watering.

Conducting regular removal of weeds and loosening the soil, it is possible to supply the soil with a large amount of oxygen, due to this, the root system of the thuja will be better supplied with beneficial trace elements.

Breeding

Among all available breeding methods, it is recommended to use the vegetative method. At the same time, grafting, division and horizontal cutting are allowed. In very rare cases, they resort to the method of reproduction through seeds. And it is of interest for the reason that a grown tree from a seed can acquire uncharacteristic crown shape. For this reason, this method is not widespread.

Cuttings

• If you plan to propagate thuja spherical with cuttings, it is best to do this in the fall. The operation itself is as follows:
• preparing shoots for grafting, which should be 50 cm long, they are placed in water.
• A greenhouse is used as a landing site, which should have good lighting. After watering, shoots are placed there.
• For a good survival it is necessary to monitor the humidity, preventing it from falling below a critical level.

The optimal planting scheme for young seedlings is as follows: seedlings are recommended place no closer than 0.5 m and within 3 meters of each other. This approach allows you to provide enough space for the growth of the crown of each tree and at the same time the possibility of unhindered access to the plants when you need to take measures to care for them.

Conclusion

One of the most common methods of decorating suburban areas is the planting of various shrubs and trees. Among them, a thuja spherical is a rather interesting option. Of course, to get an adult beautiful tree from a young sapling, you will have to apply a lot of strength. Particular attention should be paid to the landing rules and care for young plantsbecause it depends on this, will the summer resident succeed in achieving his goal.
