golden larch

Golden larch (Pseudolarix amabilis) should be kept evenly moist but never overly wet. During the growing season, it is important to monitor the soil moisture levels and water when the top layer of soil begins to feel slightly dry. It is best to water deeply and slowly to ensure that the entire root system is evenly saturated. Aim for about 1-2 inches of water per week, but this amount may need to be adjusted depending on your local climate and soil type. During the active growing season, supplemental watering may be necessary if there is not enough rainfall. Conversely, during the winter, when the tree is dormant, it should be watered less frequently. Generally, check the soil every few weeks throughout the winter and water only when it is extremely dry.

Golden larch (Pseudolarix amabilis) thrive best in full sun. They should receive direct sun for at least 6 hours a day for optimal growth. It is important to give them plenty of light from morning to evening so that they get a full day of even sunlight. The plant also does not do well in shade, so it should be placed in a location that is fully exposed to the sun. The amount of sunlight the golden larch needs can vary depending on the season, from 4-6 hours per day during the summer months to 6-8 hours per day during the winter.

Golden larch can benefit from a light pruning during its dormant season in late winter or early spring. Prune back any shoots longer than desired and thin out the branches so that air can circulate better. Avoid pruning late in the spring when the buds are beginning to swell, as this will reduce the overall flowering. Dead, diseased, or damaged branches should be pruned at any time.
