When life gives you lemons... ... you wonder if you are taking care of them well Hi community 👋 Can someone tell me if my tree is still alive? It's very spiky and whenever I touch it, it breaks (not flexible at all) 🦔 Earlier I cut some branches to give it form and it still gave this lemon smell 🍋 #CupressusMacrocarpa #greggang #greggerssupportinggreggers #help #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

Unnerving thing happened, this plant just randomly had a good 65% of its foliage fully dry up. The stalk passed the green scratch test do it's not dead. After checking the soil i had discovered it was weirdly clumpy so I fixed that, eliminated the dry potions and stuck it in this humidity. Blurred light setup facing a west window.

Hi all! I’m still very new to a lot of plants so I’ve definitely been making some mistakes here. I’m not quite sure what the problem is with this little guy- is it overwatering/root rot?? - is it too far gone?

Leaves are going brown! #CupressusMacrocarpa

Slight browning #CupressusMacrocarpa i’ve had this planned for about over a month now and I just noticed today there is some browning happening, but the soil is moist. Could this plant be affected by the weather that we’re getting currently in Florida? Currently it is 44° so I brought it into the garage just in case.

Is it dead? I’m thinking so 🙁 I have had this plant for a couple@months. My roommate brought it home from Dollar General after Christmas. I have repotted and given plant food fertilizer. Maybe it’s not happy inside?

I’m not sure. Any tips? #CupressusMacrocarpa

Forgot to water it for weeks ( results of it in my picture of it), got all the dry leaves out and saw some green ones, so I watered him as I should (thanks Greg) and it’s still alive! I hope I can keep it that way
