4" Mini Cypress

Add a touch of festive greenery to your holiday décor with mini cypress trees. These charming trees bring natural beauty to any space, indoors or outdoors. Perfect for tabletops, entryways, or gifting, they’re a versatile and timeless way to celebrate the season.

1. Light:
Place your mini cypress tree in bright, indirect light. Outdoors, they thrive in partial to full sun. Indoors, keep near a well-lit window but out of direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.

2. Watering:

• Indoors: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot.
• Outdoors: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

3. Temperature & Humidity:

• Ideal temperatures are between 50–70°F (10–21°C).
• Mini cypress trees prefer moderate humidity. Indoors, consider misting occasionally or using a pebble tray with water nearby to increase humidity.

4. Fertilizer:
Feed your mini cypress tree every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Skip fertilizing during winter.

5. Pruning:
Light pruning helps maintain the tree’s shape and size. Remove any brown or yellowing branches promptly.

6. Repotting:
If your tree outgrows its pot, repot it in a container one size larger with well-draining potting soil. Best done in spring.

7. Seasonal Notes:
Mini cypress trees are sensitive to extreme heat or cold. If keeping them outdoors, move them to a sheltered spot during frost or harsh winter weather.

8. Long-Term Care:
With proper care, your mini cypress tree can thrive year-round. If planted outdoors in the right climate (zones 7–9), it may grow into a small, elegant evergreen. Indoors, enjoy its compact size as a decorative piece for years to come.
