A mulch of their own needles is actually the best for mini evergreen conifers.

Specifically, evergreen conifers appreciate soils whose pH levels tend towards the acidic. In their natural settings, they benefit from the casting of their needles to the ground below. The dropped needles function as a natural mulch whereby the soil receives the slow but direct and steady release of nutrients from the needles back into the soil.
