How often should I water my Japanese Maple/ Conifer?
Unfortunately there is no stock answer. Allot
depends on what time of year you plant them, what type and size plant you
have and what type of soil you have. While establishing plants in the landscape
it is very important to keep plants moist but not soggy wet. Good drainage is
very important for Japanese maples and most conifers. I see many more plants
die from over watering than under watering. Check plants daily until you get a
feel for the water requirements of your particular plant by sticking your finger
into the soil, if it is dry water thoroughly, if the plant is moist check tomorrow.
Established plants should never need water more than once a week.
