| What kind of mix is it in? Is it in the sun? How do you water it and when? |

| The mix sounds great. They do like a little more water than e.g. pines, so as long as it's not in a dry area, it should be fine. In the country (NE) you'll find them growing mostly within a few hundred yards of water, whether marshes, or even little creeks. I love larches! BTW, you may find (eventually, if not yet) that they get lots of little round cones, but don't drop them every year at all, but may hang onto them for a long time - it's normal. |
