Planting: Before planting, ensure that you water the area thoroughly. Choose a location that receives full sun. 

When digging the hole, make it twice the width of the pot. For unobstructed planting, space your Pancake™ Arborvitae 2 to 3 feet apart from the center of one plant to the center of the next. If you're considering the distance between plantings, aim for at least 2 to 3 feet apart or more. 

After placing the plants, backfill the hole and ensure they are positioned 1 to 2 inches above the soil level. Water the plants and add more soil as needed.

Watering: Water once a week. During extreme heat, water regularly, but once the plant is established, it will require less water.

Fertilizing: Apply mulch around plants at a depth of 1-2 inches, avoiding the area closest to the stem. Fertilize once a year in early spring.

Pruning: While pruning is not necessary, occasional trimming can enhance the overall appearance and health of the plant.
