No special requirements
Standard container plant soil.

Container, solitary, group planting, ornamental shrub, topiary, park, landscape

The plant has a medium water requirement.

- If watered less frequently but thoroughly and thoroughly, the plant roots are encouraged to penetrate into deeper soil layers. This enables the plant to survive dry periods better.
- This plant is susceptible to snow pressure. In snowy areas, it is therefore advisable to wrap the branches with string. Otherwise, they may split apart and not fully recover. When the snow season is over, the strings must of course be removed again.

The Dwarf mountain pine sets beautiful accents together with:
Prunus, common privet.

Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the soil is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).

- Mulching: In the period from March to April.
