Choose a bright area for the thuja, where there is no draft or direct sunlight.

Dig a hole for the tree, place fertilized soil at the bottom, dilute the main soil with peat and sand.

Place the root collar level with the ground so that the plant does not rot or dry out.

Water the young thuja regularly. You need a bucket of water once a week or spray more often in the morning or evening.

In May, thujas are also fed with folk remedies, for example, wood ash, infusion of weeds - nettle, dandelion, clover.

In summer, this is no longer recommended: an excess of substances in the soil negatively affects the appearance of the plant and impairs its resistance to frost during wintering.
