Cedar encompasses conifers requiring moderate care. Ideally, they thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-draining, acidic soil. Regular watering is essential, though mature specimens are somewhat drought-tolerant. Temperature preferences are species-specific, but they generally prefer cooler climates. Common challenges include susceptibility to pests like borers and root rot in poorly drained conditions. Seasonally, cedar may need protection from extreme temperatures and adjustments in watering. Spring is a growth period, requiring vigilance for pests, while autumn preparation involves mulching for root insulation.
