With the Meinwoody arborvitae tree planting kit, you can plant your own tree in just a few steps. Open it, press the seeds into the soil, water it. Done!

After successful cultivation, you can easily plant your small tree in a new container, or directly into the ground, without repotting, using the compostable pot. The pot will then decompose naturally in approximately 12-24 months, leaving no residue in the soil. Your plant can then develop its roots undisturbed and establish itself firmly in the ground.

The tree planting kit consists of valuable forest seeds, a compostable planting pot produced on site, Terra Preta soil and a hemp fiber mat.

Interesting facts about the Tree of Life

- evergreen hedge plant
- very tolerant of pruning
- valuable wood

The arborvitae, also known as Thuja , can grow very tall, but in our region it is often cultivated as a shrub due to its excellent tolerance of pruning and winter hardiness , used to form evergreen hedges for privacy and wind protection . Its wood is also used, among other things, for the production of long-lasting roof shingles.

The arborvitae loves the sun, but also needs sufficient water to thrive. Therefore, it should be watered regularly, especially when young.

When crushed, the shoots have a very aromatic scent; however, you should wear gloves when crushing and also when cutting, as the arborvitae can cause skin irritation upon contact.

Please note: Plants are unique and may develop differently in appearance, color, shape, and size compared to our descriptions and images. External factors such as soil type, climate, humidity, air supply, and temperature can significantly affect plant development.
Some tree varieties are genetically predisposed to germination taking up to five months - in these cases it is particularly important to keep the soil consistently moist and to be patient.
