Lemon Cypress Indoors 'goldcrest' Cupressus Macrocarpa 'goldcrest'

What is the plant

Lemon cypress trees come in two sizes: small and smaller. Grown outdoors in their natural habitat, the trees can grow to 16 feet (5 m.) tall. This is quite small for a cypress. The dwarf lemon cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa ) is the better choice for a houseplant. This small tree usually does not grow taller than 3 feet (91 cm.), making it perfect for indoor containers. The tree has many admirers, thanks to its green-yellow needle-like foliage, conical growth pattern and bright fresh citrus smell.

Water
Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soaking wet. Let the top of the soil slightly dry out before watering.
Sunlight
Light is an essential factor in maintaining plants. The rate of growth and length of time a plant remains active is dependent on the amount of light it receives. Light energy is used in photosynthesis, the plant's most basic metabolic process.
Fertilizer
Fertilize just once a year, in early spring, using a balanced fertilizer with a 10-10-10 formula.

Soil
Loose, light, humus soil is ideal for this plant.
Pruning
Trim out dead and damaged leaves any time, pinching off or cutting off each of those leaves at its base. Avoid cutting into a plant's main stems or its crown, which is where its leaves and roots meet.
Temperature
Plants prefer cooler temperatures of 55-65°F. Water when the top 1-2 inches of potting mix is dry to the touch. Be sure not to over water, which can lead to problems with root rot.
Container
Ceramic pots are the most popular type of containers for houseplants today. You'll find them in all kinds of styles, colors, and sizes. At one time, the clay pot was the most common container for indoor plants. When choosing a pot, choose a pot that is 2.5-5 cm (1-2”) larger than the current size.
Additional
If you are misting or sprinkling your plant, do so in the morning or midday so the water has plenty of time to evaporate from the leaves.
