Water: In summer, water white fir 'Piggelmee' twice weekly to maintain moist soil, especially in the first two years. Allow the top layer to dry to prevent waterlogging. Water weekly in spring and fall, stopping during rain and winter.
Fertilize: Fertilization for white fir 'Piggelmee' is unnecessary if soil is nutrient-rich. Apply mulch in spring or early summer for moisture retention. A slow-acting granular fertilizer can be added in early fall, avoiding contact with the trunk or foliage to promote growth.
Pruning: White fir 'Piggelmee' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen with blue-green needles. Prune dead or damaged branches in winter during dormancy to maintain health and shape, avoiding excessive cuts. Pruning improves airflow, light penetration, and aesthetics, promoting a robust plant.
Propagation: Propagating white fir 'Piggelmee' is commonly done through cuttings, with softwood cuttings taken in late spring and hardwood cuttings in late fall. Softwood cuttings root faster (3-4 weeks) compared to hardwood (4-6 months), but require careful monitoring to prevent drying out.
