What Makes it Unique?

• A pencil-shaped evergreen crown with a tall and slender structure.
• Native to Southern Europe and the Western region.
• Needle-like, thick-dark green foliage that thrives throughout the year.
• It is easy-to-grow plant and does not ever bloom in its lifetime.

How to Care?

• Choose a soil for your pencil pine that is fertile enough and well-drained.
• Make sure not to overwater as they do not like watering much.
• Always check the plant by touching the topsoil so that the soil gets completely dry before you water it.
• Try to loosen the soil from time to time without damaging your roots to help keep it growing.
• Always choose a well-balanced organic fertilizer to feed your plants in the main growing seasons, such as summers and springs.
• Do not fertilize your Pencil Pine plants in the winter season as the growth speed ultimately reduces and doesn’t work well.
• Choose a pot bigger than your current pot with fresh, well-drained soil to re-pot your Pencil Pine.
• Always prefer re-potting in the evening and keep them in the shade for at least 2-3 days before moving them to the full sun.
• Always keep removing the dead and infected parts from the plants to avoid pests and diseases.
• Apply Neem Oil or Eucalyptus Oil as a primary treatment in case of any fungal infection or disease.
• Always make sure to fertilize only once a month in your primary growing season to avoid roots burning.
• Fix a balanced schedule for watering and reduce the session in winter to avoid all the risks associated with root rotting.
• Allow the plant to grow longer, and then keep pruning it from time to time to give them the right shape.
