8 concise rules for caring for conifers
HOW TO CARE FOR CONIFEROUS PLANTS - ONLY THE MAIN THING!
All conifers require a special substrate: it must contain special fungi - mycorrhiza-forming. Plants and mushrooms need each other, this symbiosis increases the availability of nutrients a hundred times! Therefore, when transshipping plants, in no case should you throw away the substrate with which you purchased your conifer. Even in the presence of worms and insect larvae, the roots cannot be washed - you will have to use chemicals.
Conifers have a dormant period. In the spring, with an increase in daylight hours, they will start growing again. Plants deprived of moderately cold temperatures in winter will not grow.
The purchase of a coniferous plant requires special care, because even after the death it retains its “presentation” for two weeks, or even a month. How to determine the state of health?
If, when touched, the needles crumble, and the branches break easily, the plant has outlived its life.
If it is possible to inspect the roots, pay attention to their color. The tips should be white or slightly yellowish, but certainly juicy.
The soil should not be completely dry - if the earth ball dries out, the plant will not come to life. It is impossible to “drink” conifers.
Ephedra do not like the bright sun, so we put their window. It is strictly forbidden to transfer plants from place to place! We water so that the earthen ball is always a little wet: both drying and waterlogging are unacceptable. The crown of the plant must be abundantly sprayed with water 1 - 3 times a day every day!
Extremely painful conifers tolerate transplantation.
This should be done with extreme caution, preserving the entire earthen room, and no more than once every two years! The bottom of the pot needs good drainage.

Conifers do not need top dressing.
You can only feed a little with special fertilizers for domestic coniferous plants only 2 times during the summer.
Make sure that the substrate does not get cold in winter.
In general, the slightest harm caused to the roots of a plant turns into its death. The most suitable place for wintering is a heated loggia, i.e. well-glazed and insulated (without gaps), with the possibility of turning on an electric heater. If you do not have such a balcony, it is better to refuse conifers.
If the plant has come out of its winter dormancy too early, it will need additional lighting.
