How to fertilize Giant Green Arborvitae
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Giant Green Arborvitae after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

The leaves are drying and turning brown. I’m watering regularly 1-2 weeks. It gets morning sunlight NorthSide 3-4 hours then shade partly. Do it needs to be repotted in bigger pot? #EmeraldGreenArborvitae

Any thoughts on the change? The inside is browning and dying off. This seems to have changed with it getting cold in Iowa, but I always started following Greg’s watering routine, which is less than I typically water. The pot has plenty of drainage. #EmeraldGreenArborvitae
