Lemon Cypress
Cupressus Macrocarpa
This bright green tropical cypress plant will be a welcome addition to your houseplant collection. It is easy to grow, has a light lemony scent when the needles are pinched lightly, and the bright color will liven up any area of your home. The needles are soft and feathery in texture, giving it a unique feel and look. Bright light is best for the full color of your cypress indoors, and they prefer moist but not soggy water conditions. Do not let them dry out as they will brown on their tips.
Fertilize as you would any of your indoor plants, less in winter months. In spring after night time temperatures remain above 55F, you can place them outdoors in full sun or light shade. Keep in mind the watering needs, however.
These plants take well to pruning, and can be formed into topiaries of different shapes quite easily.
