Picea glauca enjoys lots of humidity. Provide humidity for your plant by watering regularly and thoroughly, since plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves. They may also benefit from being placed next to a humidifier.

Picea glauca is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!

When and How to Successfully Repot Picea glauca →

Picea glauca grows very slowly and doesn’t require added fertilizer. Replacing your plant’s potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!

Picea glauca will branch off as it grows. To encourage branching, pinch off the newest growth at the tip and the stem will branch off into two.

Picea glauca can be propagated by the leaf method. To propagate:

• Remove a leaf by gently twisting until it pops off.
• To get the leaf to root, you can either:
  
  • Place the leaf in water until roots emerge and are ~2” long and then transplant into well-draining soil, or
  • Place the leaf directly into well-draining soil

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
