Abies homolepis aka Nikko Fir

With its straightforward care requirements, Nikko Fir is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Nikko Fir should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

If you're planting Nikko Fir, you need to make sure you use a potting soil that can retain moisture. While the soil should still be able to drain well, it should contain plenty of organic matter like coco coir or sphagnum moss to help it stay moist and nourish the roots of your plants. This is especially important since Nikko Fir is especially sensitive to dry soil. You can also add other amendments, such as compost, to help retain moisture and provide extra nutrients to your plants. Be sure to keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy, throughout the growing season. With the right soil and proper care, your Nikko Fir will thrive!

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

The Nikko Fir is known for its slow growth and doesn't require fertilizing beyond its potting soil. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should offer it sufficient nutrition. It's essential to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not from fertilizers.

Nikko Fir’s native range is E. Asia - central and southern Japan.
