#ProPlantTips for Care

Dwarf Norway Spruce needs at least four hours of direct sunlight a day. It performs well in either full sun or partial shade.

You will need to supply it with well-drained soil. If your planting site remains soggy for prolonged periods, please elevate the planting in a raised bed.

Bring in additional soil and create a planting mound to keep the roots out of standing water. Ensure that your outdoor containers have plenty of drainage holes.

Pay close attention to watering. Protect your investment with a medium amount of water applied in times without adequate rainfall. Container-grown plants need supplemental water their whole life.

Improve your soil with a light application of mulch over the root system. Always give your plants good air circulation, and never let mulch touch the trunk itself.

You can apply fertilizer for evergreens in early spring. Please follow the directions on the label.

If you ever need to correct a wayward branch, do any light pruning in spring before new growth begins. You'll appreciate the lighter green growth in spring, too.
