Picea orientalis aka Caucasian Spruce

Picea orientalis, also known as the Oriental spruce or Caucasian spruce, is a rare evergreen conifer species native to the Caucasus region and adjacent northeast Turkey. This small tree has a conical shape and features short, glossy needles that start off pale or golden-yellow before turning green. As a houseplant, Oriental spruce is easy to cultivate and requires regular watering for optimal growth. It thrives in long-lasting, direct light, ideally positioned within one foot of a window. Well-draining soil is preferred for Oriental spruce, and adding fertilizers is unnecessary if the plant is repotted whenever it doubles in size. Belonging to the Picea genus, this species is indigenous to Asia Minor.
