Difficulty
Giant Fir is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.
Water
Giant Fir should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
When growing Giant Fir, it is important to pay attention to the soil type you are using. This plant is very sensitive to dry soil and needs a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still be well-draining and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great options to provide the Lowland Fir with the nutrients and moisture it needs. The added organic matter will also help the soil retain water and prevent the Giant Fir from drying out too quickly. Before planting, make sure to mix compost or manure into the soil for extra nutrients. Also, make sure to water the Giant Fir regularly, making sure to keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. With the correct soil and watering regimen, the Giant Fir will thrive and bring lots of beauty to your home.

Fertilizer
The growth of Giant Fir is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.
