Homemade September trick: Make your thuja trees thrive

Thuja trees aren't very demanding, but, like any plant, they require appropriate fertilization and care. September is the ideal time to provide thuja trees with the necessary vitamins and minerals to help them grow healthy and dense. One homemade mixture works wonders.

Thuja trees can be found in many home gardens. They are a relatively low-maintenance choice. When formed into a hedge, they can separate us from the street or neighbors, giving us more privacy.

September is the best time to care for and strengthen thuja trees. A simple homemade mixture will prevent them from browning and help them grow thicker than ever.

Though many products can be found in garden stores, it's worth trying these homemade methods first. The following mixture will not only be cheaper but also more environmentally friendly. It will provide thuja trees with phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients.

All you need are peels from four or five bananas. First, cut the peels into smaller pieces, then pour one gallon of hot water over them. Blend everything and let it sit for two days. After the designated time, strain the solution of any residue, and use this homemade fertilizer to water the thuja trees in your garden.

The first month of fall is also a good time to do the last pruning of thuja trees before winter. It's best to start at the beginning of September, so the plant has time to recover before the low temperatures and frost arrive.

Besides pruning, regular, although not abundant, watering is crucial. This way, the thuja tree will have time to absorb nutrients before winter. This is also a necessary step in caring for thuja trees to prevent physiological drought.
