- Light: Full sun is ideal! Also tolerates partial shade (less flowering)
- Watering: Very little! Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Excess water = the main problem
- Temperature: Most varieties are resistant to cold (-20°C and above!) and extreme heat.
- Soil: Well-drained - essential! Thin, stony soil is excellent. Does not like rich soil
- Fertilization: Almost not needed! Light fertilization in spring if desired
- Pruning: Remove dead flowers. Some varieties die back in winter and re-bloom in spring.
- Propagation: Very easy! A single leaf or small branch roots easily.

🌱 Growing conditions
⚠️ Common problems and solutions
- Rot: Problem #1! Always from overwatering or poor drainage. Reduce watering drastically
- A long, thin plant: lack of light. Move to a sunnier location.
- Yellow/transparent leaves: Too much water! Stop watering, check drainage
- Wrinkled leaves: Thirst - rare but possible. Water moderately.
- No blooms: lack of sun or the plant is too young. Be patient!
- Aphids: Check at leaf nodes. Treat with alcohol or soap.
- Snails: Love succulent leaves. Keep them away by hand or scatter granules.

💡
Professional tip
Golden rule: When in doubt? Don't water! Cypress prefers dryness to moisture. Magical propagation: A leaf that falls to the ground will root on its own! Just place leaves on dry soil and wait. Bright colors: Sun + "light stress" (dryness, cold) intensifies red and orange colors. Winter: Tall varieties (like Autumn Joy) look dead in winter - that's natural! Don't overdo it, they will regenerate in spring. DIY green roof: Cypress is the perfect base - spread thin soil, spread cuttings, and wait!
