Caring for cypress at home is not difficult, but this process requires careful attention. Diseases and ailments that cypress can suffer from are better prevented, so you need to pay attention to changes in the state of the plant. For example, the first time you use a new brand of fertilizing, monitor the reaction of the plant to it.
Cypress can dry out from a lack of nutrients. Therefore, it is advisable to fertilize the plant a couple of times a month - any liquid fertilizer for conifers or granules with a slow-release formula will do. So the nutrients will not dissolve in the soil immediately, but gradually, and for two weeks the plant will be provided with an uninterrupted supply of them. After this period, top dressing will need to be reintroduced.
If the cypress has just been transplanted into fresh soil, it will be able to feed on the substances present in the soil. Purchase soil for cypress in specialized stores - all vitamins and minerals necessary for the plant are pre-introduced into such soil. He will not need top dressing for quite some time.
Pruning should be done from time to time to stimulate the growth of new green shoots, as well as to give the plant an aesthetic appearance. Cypress grows very quickly and can be pruned once per summer. You can shape the cypress into various externally interesting shapes that the owners can like and will perfectly fit into the garden or home interior.
Classic lovers simply let the cypress grow up naturally without pruning. But it should be borne in mind that the growth of lateral shoots will be slow, and the plant will stretch out strongly. If this meets the aesthetic tastes of the owners, you can choose this option.
