Fertilising a Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ivonne'
To foster the robust growth and maintain the striking yellow-green foliage of Chamaecyparis 'Ivonne', a balanced fertilization regimen is essential. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, well-balanced fertilizer to support the plant's growth spurt as the weather warms. A second application may be beneficial in mid-summer to sustain its vigor throughout the growing season.
Ensure that the soil around the root ball is not compacted, allowing nutrients to penetrate effectively. Avoid over-fertilization, as this can lead to excessive growth, potentially compromising the plant's winter hardiness. By adhering to these guidelines, this evergreen will retain its visual density and year-round color, contributing to its role as a striking hedge or solitary garden specimen.
