How much water do I give my plant ? On this app it says 1/2 cup but I don’t think that’s enough . Any tips ??

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?

Do those of you growing this have it outside? I want to put it outside but will it be too shocked? In PA #DwarfHinokiCypress
