Caring for your Euro Cypress

      • To keep your Chamaecyparis happy indoors, water thoroughly when the soil is slightly dry and apply a balanced fertilizer monthly. If repotting, use an all purpose soil.
      • If you want to incorporate your Chamaecyparis in your outdoor landscape, plant your tree in a garden bed or in an outdoor pot where it will thrive in full sun or half shade. 
      • This plant grows well in moist but well-drained soil. It tolerates alkaline soils but prefers slightly acidic soils.
      • No pruning is required for standalone trees other than light shaping, but hedges may need trimming up to twice per year.
