How to Care for the Plant

Water
You should water a peperomia plant once a top 2.5 - 5 cm or 1-2 inches of a soil dries completely and then water a plant thoroughly. Watering peperomia plants is a point when things most commonly go wrong. Overwatering is a number one problem that people have when keeping peperomia plants indoors.
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
Use a 5-10-10 blend or 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted to 1/4th strength.
