The Larch and the Golden larch grow best in full sun,preferably semi-shaded in summer during the hottest hours. Larix trees are veryfrost hardy trees, but they should be protected from excess rain in winter. ThePseudolarix prefers semi-shade during hot summer weeks and should be protectedfrom drying winds. It is not frost hardy and should be kept in a cold frameduring winter.

Larches must be watered thoroughly when the soil gets dry.The Pseudolarix needs a lot of water and should be kept moist, never let therootball dry out. In summer the pot of the Pseudolarix can be placed in ashallow water bowl to ensure sufficient moisture on hot days. Larix andPseudolarix both don't like very calcareous water.
