The pine in your own garden - tips and tricks for care
Do you ever fall asleep to the bewitching scent of wet earth and fresh pine needles on a forest walk? There is nothing better than to close your eyes in the midst of the trees and listen to the sound of the wind as it gently blows through the pine tree crowns. With a pine in your own garden you can enjoy this feeling every day. For your jaw to grow healthily, follow the tips below.
Various pine species
Pine is not the same as pine. When purchasing at the nursery you can choose between different types:
The siting
The pine is a so-called Pioneer tree. This means that it adapts easily to weather and soil conditions. In the wild, the deciduous tree occurs even in the most hostile places. For this reason, a pine is suitable for almost every garden. It thrives in the shade and dry soil and is completely hardy. However, pines love sunny locations with a well-drained soil that does not form waterlogging. These conditions greatly enhance the growth of your conifer.
Care Tips
to water
A pine tolerates longer dry periods, but it is advisable to keep the substrate slightly moist at all times. What the conifer does not tolerate is waterlogging. Therefore, a permeable soil is so valuable in siting. Keep your jaw as a container plant on the terrace, help drainage against the looming root rot.
Fertilize
In particular bonsai pines on the terrace should be fertilized every two weeks with simple bonsai liquid fertilizer. Only during the sprouting time is the additional nutritional intake not recommended. If your jaw gets brown needles in the earth, Epsom salt helps to compensate for an avoidable deficiency or poor soil conditions.
To cut
Since pine crowns spread with age, a regular pruning makes sense, so that the conifer does not grow too close to buildings. This may be quiet strong.
Protection against pests and diseases
Many insects that settle on the jaw, are harmless for now. Nevertheless, if you find it annoying, simple and gentle applications with neem or rapeseed oil will help.
