Water: Siberian larch, native to Siberia's taiga, is drought-resistant and thrives with watering every 1-2 weeks. It benefits from seasonal changes, requiring more water during the growing season as it prepares for winter dormancy.

Pruning: Siberian larch thrives with early spring pruning to remove dead or diseased branches and to thin crowded areas for better light and air flow. This practice promotes robust growth, aligns with its growth cycle, and enhances both appearance and structural integrity.
