(Thuja standishii)
Japanese thuja, also known as Japanese thuja
A member of the Cupressaceae family, japanese thuja is a coniferous evergreen that thrives in temperate climates. Propagating japanese thuja successfully involves taking semi-hardwood cuttings. For optimal rooting, choose healthy shoots from the current season's growth, ensuring cuttings have several nodal points. Pre-treat these cuttings with a rooting hormone to encourage strong root development. Plant in a well-draining, moist medium, providing adequate humidity and warmth without direct sunlight. Patience is key, as japanese thuja may take some time to establish a robust root system.
