European Cypress (mini) Care

Water moderately so that the soil remains damp, not soggy. Water when the surface becomes slightly dry. When watering, water the plant moderately and slowly from above, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out any excess water. Dry soil should be avoided.

Cut back each overly-long branch to a branch fork with a green shoot growing from it. This is the most important rule for cutting back cypress trees: never cut all green shoots from any branch since the branch will not be able to grow more. Proceed from the underside of the branches, slanting the cuts up.

Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly at half the usual rate

The European Cypress needs medium to bright indirect light.
