Place placement. In natural conditions, spruce is well developing at the valley of the river, where a sufficient amount of moisture is obtained to power a powerful root system. But at the same time, it does not like a marsh terrain, and therefore needs to arrange drainage.
The composition of the soil. All kinds of firings love fertile alkaline and acidic soil. They are intolerable to heavy soil types. When falling down a conifer to the depleted soil, the landing pit is pre-enriched, making 100 grams of complex mineral fertilizer. With a lack of oxygen and nutrition, the plant may even die.
It should be borne in mind that the spruce strongly affects the surrounding flowers and shrubs, therefore it is better to be placed on a small distance from the sunlumulatory plants. It is not necessary to plant conifers close to each other, because they will limit the access of sun rays with their branches.
