A newly purchased dwarf Alberta spruce in a 2.5-quart pot needs watering guidance and fertilizer advice. Owner has "Christmas tree life nutrient" (2 tbsp/gallon) and plans to plant outdoors in spring.
Water thoroughly, then feel the pot's weight. Don't water again until it feels considerably lighter and soil surface is pale. Frequency varies from daily to monthly based on conditions. Plants die from watering too often or too rarely—not from volume per session.
Don't use cut-tree nutrient on a potted tree. Buy indoor plant fertilizer (e.g., Miracle-Gro Indoor) at a garden center and follow label directions. Fertilize monthly for health. Provide good light exposure.
