Many people plant thuja as a beautiful decorative tree and an element in landscape design. Due to its size, it can also serve as a natural fence. However, it is common for people to face drought conditions, causing the tree to wither, leading them to believe that the chances of saving it are slim.

How to Save a Withered Thuja?

  1. Remove the damaged parts of the tree, as the dried sections cannot be revived. Use secateurs to carefully trim them.
  2. Don’t forget about using garden var to treat the cuts. This helps to protect the sections and prevent further damage.
  3. The top of the tree should also be cut by about 15 centimeters and treated with garden var to promote healing.
  4. Pay attention to the soil. It must be saturated with nutrients. First, take some soil from under the thuja, combine it with acidic peat, and add a compost fertilizer according to the instructions. This will provide nutritional support, helping the plant regain its strength.
  5. You can also spray the leaves with any appropriate treatment designed to combat drying branches.

We wish you success in bringing your thuja back to health!
