Lemon Cypress

Key Features:

• Size: Typically grows up to 1-3 meters in height, though indoor potted varieties are generally smaller.
• Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Ensure plenty of light indoors for vibrant growth.
• Watering: Water regularly but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging the roots.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 24°C. Protect from frost and extreme cold.
• Additional Features: Known for its citrus fragrance, especially when the foliage is brushed or crushed.

Care Tips:

• Plant in well-draining soil. A potting mix designed for container plants or trees is ideal for potted Lemon Cypress.
• Water consistently, ensuring the soil stays slightly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering slightly during winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
• Place the plant in a bright location, whether indoors or outdoors, as Lemon Cypress needs plenty of light to maintain its vibrant yellow-green color.
• Prune lightly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth, especially in spring and early summer.
• Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth.

Lemon Cypress is perfect for adding a fresh, vibrant look to any space, with the bonus of a refreshing lemon fragrance. Its low-maintenance nature and unique appearance make it a favorite among both indoor and outdoor gardeners.
