How to fertilize European Tree
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 European Tree 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

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?

Uh so I just got this plant. It is my very first plant I have ever had so I'm very new and I didn't pay too much attention to it for the past three days but now it's a pale green and the pines break off whenever I touch them... Is it sick? #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?

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
