How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water during the summer period but without excess, once or twice a week if it is very dry, rather in the morning and spare the leaves from getting wet. In pots, water once a week during growth, and reduce to once every 20 days in winter.
Pruning
Use sharp pruning shears to remove the sucker branches and the errant branches that are growing in the wrong direction or making it difficult to fertilize the tree. Since lemon cypress has a conical habit, trim the tree as per its natural shape. Trimming should be done every week during the summer.
Fertilizer
give it a balanced fertilizer
