Light:
Place in a location that receives a lot of light, an east-facing window is best. Lemon Cypress requires 6-8 hours of direct sun per day, they are not shade tolerant. Rotate the plant regularly so each side of the plant receives some sun.
Water:
Water regularly whenever the soil is dry, let the top 1 inch of soil dry out in between waterings. Don’t let the plant stand in water.
Temperature:
They do best with cooler indoor temperatures, between 10°C to 21°C. 15 °C or lower is ideal in winter.
Fertilizer:
Fertilize just once a year, in early spring, using a balanced fertilizer with a 10-10-10 formula.
Potting:
The trees require well-draining soil but are not picky about whether it is loamy, sandy or chalky. They also accept acidic, neutral or alkaline soil.
