Laurus nobilis angustifolia care

Caring for Laurus nobilis angustifolia is simply about getting a few easy things right so the plant thrives. they prefer a sheltered spot in either full sun or part shade. A well-drained and fertile soil is crucial for success. Adding organic matter like compost into the soil during planting will help with soil fertility. They prefer a moist soil so consistent watering is essential, especially during dry periods but be careful to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. Applying tree fertiliser in spring will keep the plants well-fed for the year. Any trimming should be undertaken in autumn or early spring which is mostly about shaping the tree. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. The Plant Company recommends trees are staked to give them that extra bit of support. Monitor for pests like scale insect and diseases like powdery mildew and treat as needed with an appropriate agrichemical if you think it is needed.
