Thuja, a popular choice for landscape design, serves both aesthetic purposes and acts as a hedge. UAportal has prepared tips for planting the plant.

If you plan to plant a thuja, it is important to know the best time to do so. Ideally, they should be planted in the spring when the soil temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius.

Moisture is crucial for the successful rooting and growth of thuja. To ensure adequate watering, consider planting them during rainy periods or be prepared to provide artificial irrigation if necessary.

To plant thuja effectively, there are several steps to follow

Start by choosing a suitable location with plenty of sunlight and moist soil. Avoid areas with excessive water accumulation, as this can damage the tree.

Dig a hole slightly larger than the thuja's root system. Apply organic fertilizer to the soil before planting the thuja in the hole. Carefully fill the hole with soil, ensuring proper stability by lightly tamping the soil around the base of the tree.

To help retain water and reduce weed growth, consider spreading mulch around the tree.

By following these recommendations, you can successfully plant a thuja in your yard to create a beautiful living fence near your home.
