Larix lyallii aka Alpine Larch

Alpine Larch presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Alpine Larch should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Alpine Larch loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Alpine Larch prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

The Alpine Larch grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.

Alpine Larch’s native range is Western N. America - Washington to British Columbia.
