It is no secret that coniferous plants on the plot are attached not simply to the elegant appearance of the entire home garden, but also to make it aristocratic and always well-groomed. Green lawn, a couple of big boulders and thuja - all this is enough to create a beautiful courtyard. It can not be said that planting thuya is a complex process, but knowing about some of the subtleties of caring for it in the open ground will not hurt.
Planting of thuja
You can plant your own prepared seedlings after cuttings or the ready-made trees from the nursery. Of seeds, thuya is grown extremely rarely due to the complexity and duration of the process, and external characteristics are not always preserved. Remember that planting young tuya seedlings will require more careful care, and they will grow more slowly. But the survival rate is much higher.
In principle, planting of thuja is possible on any soil and in any light. The difference will be noticeable only after a while, as the selected conditions will directly affect the decorative qualities of the tree. In order for the tree to become a truly elegant decoration of the site, it should find a well protected from the wind place, with a little shade. But the depth of the water is not so important, and with their close location, you can simply refuse from frequent watering.

But if the seedling is healthy and young, it will perfectly acclimatize at any time, so planting thai in autumn is not uncommon among gardeners. As for the features of the planting, here we will follow the following recommendations:
- The depth of the pit dug under the seedling should not be less than 70 cm, and if the water is deep, you can safely dig a meter deep;
- in order to help the Tui seedlings to get stronger after planting and to facilitate their care, the bottom of the pit is sure to
lay out a layer of nutritious soil with fertilizers, then for two years you do not need to additionally take care of introducing fertilizing; - further we mix the basic ground with peat and add humus;
- in the issue of planting and care of thuje in the open ground, as with other conifers, it is important to properly arrange the seedling, namely to lower it so that the root neck is at the ground level (high planting will lead to drying, low - to decay);
- the distance between seedlings depends on the size of the latter: the higher they are, the greater the distance, and it varies within a meter-five.
Next about a year, the most important are regular watering, about a bucket of water for each seedling once a week. Do not forget about the procedure of sprinkling, which is combined with watering.
