Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, select a location for your Hinoki Cypress with well-drained soil and full to partial sun – any area with 4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day is ideal.

Then, dig a hole that’s about one and a half to two times the size of your plant’s root ball, place the Cypress in the hole, backfill the soil and water to settle the roots.

If you’re planting in a pot, ensure that the pot is about twice as large as your tree’s shipped container. Also, make sure it has drainage holes. Use organic planting mix, place your tree and then move your tree to a sunny location on your porch or patio.

2. Watering: Your Cypress is moderately drought tolerant once it’s established, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule. Water about once weekly or check the surrounding soil – if the surrounding soil is dry about 2 or 3 inches down, it’s time to water. If it’s planted in a container, give your Cypress a drink until water drains from the bottom of the pot.

3. Fertilizing: Generally, the Hinoki won’t need fertilizing, but if you’d like, you can apply a well-balanced, general-purpose fertilizer in early spring, before new growth begins.

4. Pruning: Your Hinoki will grow into its signature form without pruning, but we recommend removing dead or dying branches to encourage healthy growth.
