Care

General Maintenance: In general, growing lemon cypress is not difficult.

Light: Perhaps the most difficult part of lemon cypress houseplant care is ensuring sufficient light. Select a window that provides good sunlight and turn the container regularly to give each side a turn. The houseplant requires six to eight hours of direct sun.

Watering: They like lots of light, lots of water (water whenever the soil is dry), and fertilizer once per year in the spring.

Soil: This tree will require well draining soil, whether planted outdoors, or left in a pot indoors.

Fertilizer: In spring, it’s time to feed the tree. Apply a standard, slow-release 20-20-20 fertilizer before new growth appears in the spring.
