How to fertilize Lawson Cypress
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Lawson Cypress after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Does this really only need 1/8c of water? That's the same as one of my succulents which just seems really low for a plant like this. #LawsonCypress

Is there any saving this? Help, I’m not sure what happened with this plant. It is new, got it at Christmas. I repotted it and maybe didn’t water it enough. It started turning brown and I gave it a good drink before going on vacation. Now a few weeks later the soil is still wet so it isn’t drinking. Can it be saved or is it too far gone?
