Picea orientalis aka Caucasian Spruce

Caring for Caucasian Spruce is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Caucasian Spruce should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Caucasian Spruce 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 Caucasian Spruce prefers bright indirect 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 Caucasian Spruce 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.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Caucasian Spruce as it grows vertically.

Caucasian Spruce’s native range is E. Europe to W. Asia.
