It's juniper on it
Of course, most people are not superstitious now, but there are still few friends who plant cypresses, not because they think this plant is unlucky, but because most friends don't have yards or balconies, so it is difficult to raise these cypresses well. This plant needs more space and sufficient sunshine environment to raise them well.

I believe that many friends have raised cedar, namely "Xiangguanbai", which is prone to yellowing and withering of leaves. Finally the whole plant withered. The main reason is that the less light, the better, and the water supplement is not timely. To tell the truth, it is difficult to raise potted fragrant pines on indoor windowsills and balconies.

If you have a yard or a big terrace, you can actually raise some potted cypresses or bonsai, which can stay green all year round, even in cold winter.
Many friends think that there is only one kind of cypress, and its leaves are all green. In fact, cypress trees used for gardening and ornamental purposes are extremely rich in species, colors and forms. Nowadays, cypress trees are like fragrant pine trees. If they are kept in an extremely sunny place, they will turn golden yellow. If there is not enough sunshine, their leaves will be bright green.
There are several kinds of ornamental cypress trees in the garden. Friends who have a yard or a big balcony can consider planting one or two pots.
First, the common varieties of ornamental cypress:
1, blue ice cypress
It's blue ice cypress. Bald Bruce.
Blue ice cypress is a kind of ornamental cypress familiar to many flower lovers. Its leaves are silver-gray.
Lan Bing cypress was particularly expensive a few years ago, but now it's getting cheaper and cheaper. In nature, the plants of the blue ice cypress can grow to more than 2~3 meters, and the whole plant is conical. After the blue ice cypress is potted, the height can be limited and shaped.
In the later stage, the blue ice cypress can be kept chubby by by topping, and branches can be grown to control the plant type.

Orange-golden cypress is a very unique ornamental cypress. Its leaves are very strange, and the whole leaves are orange. When the sun is full, the leaves will appear golden yellow, so they are sometimes called' golden velvet cypress'. Although its leaves are needle-shaped, they feel very soft.
However, many friends think that these orange golden cypresses look terrible, so they think it has withered, and many friends think it is dead.

7.golden cypress
This is Japanese cypress with golden cypress.
Golden cypress is a very beautiful ornamental cypress. Its biggest feature is that its leaves are slender, golden yellow and drooping downwards, giving people a more elegant impression.
Second, the ornamental cypress conservation matters needing attention:
Cypress is actually easy to plant outdoors, because it is cold-resistant, easy to take care of, barren-resistant and has strong adaptability to the environment. The most important thing is that there are no pests and diseases. If the soil is well drained, it is basically difficult to raise the dead.
In fact, maintaining cypress trees is relatively simple. It is best to keep it outdoors, at least on a well-lit terrace or outdoor balcony, not indoors.
The environment of cypress conservation must be exposed to direct light as much as possible, and it is best to keep it in an environment with sufficient sunshine and good ventilation.
The cypress planted outdoors is completely different from the cypress planted on the balcony or windowsill indoors.
No matter what kind of ornamental cypress trees are, leaves raised in the shade will appear large-scale yellowing and withering, or even hang directly. Especially in the hot and humid environment, and the environment is cool, there may be mycosis.
Dry cultivation of pine and wet cultivation of cypress
Whether potted or planted in the ground, it is extremely important to ensure good soil drainage. This is why many people use ruby soil when raising bonsai cypress trees, because it has better air permeability and drainage.
Cypress has good heat resistance and high temperature resistance, but potted plants must be well ventilated in summer, and cypress trees maintained in potted plants should be replenished in time to prevent the soil from being too dry.
Potted cypress can add more coarse sand, garden soil, peat soil and coarse coconut bran to the pot soil. Of course, for some cypress trees with tall plants, in order to make them grow more stably, we must first add more garden soil, which accounts for 30%~50% of the potted soil.
If you plant a pot of cypress, you must learn to water it often, thoroughly every time, not just a little. You can water it several times and slowly to ensure that its roots can absorb enough water.
But when the soil is fast drying, it should be watered in time, and in hot weather and sunny environment, it should be replenished in time to avoid the soil being too dry.
Cypress still likes water, which is also a key for many people to raise potted cypress. It is very afraid of excessive drying. If it is kept in a sunny place, it is basically necessary to water it once in time when the soil surface is slightly dry.
Relatively speaking, cypress prefers humidity. As long as the soil is well ventilated and drained, and there is sufficient light and ventilation environment, it doesn't matter to water it frequently. Just control the water slightly when the temperature is low in winter, because the temperature is low in winter, the water consumption is slow, and the ability of plants to absorb water is poor. There must be some water control.
Maintenance of cypress trees does not require frequent fertilization. Generally, slow-release fertilizers only need to be supplemented once every six months or one year, and decomposed organic fertilizers, such as common decomposed sheep manure or decomposed earthworm manure, can also be used.
Viewing cypress trees is very popular abroad, especially in Britain and Japan, especially in some garden landscapes. Cypress trees are often made into bonsai, and the price is really not low at all.
Of course, in the south of China, there are many ornamental cypress trees in the courtyard of large families, and the overall shape is quite good.
