watering
Water your Dwarf Blue Siberian pine once every 7-10 days, depending on the weather and soil. Initially, water it until the soil is saturated and water is running freely from the drainage holes. Then allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. During the warmer months, you may need to water your Dwarf Blue more frequently. Make sure to check the soil moisture level with your finger, as overwatering can cause root rot and other issues.
sunlight
Dwarf Siberian pine, (Pinus pumila 'Dwarf Blue') requires full sun to thrive. This plant species should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily with 8 hours being preferable for the best growth and health. This sun exposure should ideally be in the morning between the hours of 8am and midday. During the late afternoon and early evening, the dwarf Siberian pine should be protected from the harsher rays of the sun when this species can suffer from sunburn.
pruning
Dwarf Siberian pine (Pinus pumila 'Dwarf Blue') should be pruned annually, usually in late spring or early summer. Pruning should focus on creating an open center and removing any weak or dead branches, as well as any branches growing at an angle or rubbing against 1 another. You should also trim the outer branches away to give the plant a defined shape. If required, you can also reduce the size of the inner branches or remove older, woody branches to encourage new, vibrant growth. For best results, avoid pruning more than a quarter of the total foliage in any given year.
