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.

How to take care of a European Cypress? Hello, my mother gave me a European Cypress (Ellwoodii) today, and I have no experience with plants other than Marimo moss balls. I am currently living in a hotel, so it's hard for him to get direct sunlight, and I don't know how often and how much I need to water him. I am going to re-pot him with some new dirt and a better pot soon, but I don't want to hurt him, and I want him to thrive the best he can. So if anyone can give me advice I would be very much appreciative #happyplants #beginnerplantparent #plantsmakepeoplehappy #planttherapy

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?

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.

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.
