BLUE ITALIAN CYPRESS

Light:
☀️ Full sun. The Blue Italian Cypress thrives in bright, direct sunlight and requires at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily to maintain its vibrant blue-green color and healthy growth.

Water:
💧 Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. While it is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering helps it grow better, especially during hot, dry periods.

Soil:
🌱 Well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Blue Italian Cypress prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil. It tolerates a variety of soil types as long as the drainage is good.

Temperature:
🌡️ Prefers mild to warm temperatures (65°F - 85°F / 18°C - 29°C). It can tolerate some heat but is sensitive to extreme cold. This plant is hardy in USDA zones 7-10, so protect it from frost in colder regions.

Humidity:
💦 Prefers low to moderate humidity. It adapts well to average household humidity levels and doesn’t require high moisture.

Fertilizer:
🌼 Feed with a slow-release fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth. Blue Italian Cypress doesn’t require heavy fertilization, so avoid overfeeding.

Pruning:
✂️ Prune lightly to maintain the desired shape. This cypress can grow tall and narrow, so trim back any unwanted branches to keep it looking tidy and compact. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may affect its natural shape.
