Little Thujen need some water from time to time
Water Thuja properly - you should pay attention to that
The Tree of Life or Thuja is one of the most popular shrubs in the garden. Above all, the Western Tree of Life (Thuja occidentalis) is often used as a robust and easy-care hedge plant. Although older and established Thuja are relatively tolerant to drought, especially young and freshly planted specimens should be regularly supplied with moisture.
Keep freshly planted Thuja moist
When freshly planted thuja die off or suddenly brown leaves, dryness is often the cause. In the first two weeks after planting, you should water the young trees approximately every other day so that the soil is moist - but never wet! Too much moisture leads to waterlogging, which the trees do not tolerate. In the third and fourth week after planting, water about every third or fourth day, then only once a week. Exception: The weather is very hot and dry, then you have to grab the watering can twice a week. After about six months, the trees have grown and need no additional watering except for very dry phases.
Plant thuja in moist soil
At best, plant your thuja in slightly damp, but not wet, soil: drought and permanent wetness will cause the plants to die. In order to minimize the loss of moisture, you should also install wind protection for the first few weeks in windy locations - after all, Thuja is often used as a windscreen. This also ensures a higher stability of the trees until they are fully grown.
