How to fertilize Atlantic White Cedar

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 Atlantic White Cedar after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

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

My cypress is still green but very "crunchy" with pieces easily coming off when touched. I live in WI where it's been quite cold lately (and unfortunately very dry in my house right now. The pot has drainage and it's getting watered as it should.
-
What have I done? This was a slow burn but I couldn't stop these needles from browning and now I think I'm past the point of no return. I want to try again but how do I avoid this?

Chamaecyparis ellwoodii Hello! I just recently got this beautiful cypress but I am a little confused with the light requirements. I've read that likes full bright direct sunlight but I also read that likes bright indirect sunlight. Which one is it?

How to save my plant ? My pine tree leaves are dry and very brittle. They break as soon as I touch them. I guess it is dehydrated and I have been watering it thoroughly every day but it has not improved much. Please help me save it. Thank you so much.
