All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
Lawson Cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is native to the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The 'Ellwoodii' cultivar is a popular dwarf variety prized for its slow growth rate, narrow, upright habit, and dense, slightly pendulous foliage ranging from blue-green to steel gray.
How to Keep It Happy
- Light: Bright, indirect light with a few hours of gentle morning sun is ideal. Too little light can cause the inner foliage to brown.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Cypress trees do not tolerate drying out completely, but need excellent drainage.
- Humidity: High humidity is a must, especially in heated indoor environments. Use a humidifier or a pebble tray to prevent browning.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix blended with peat moss and perlite.
Popular Plant Varieties

- Olive Bonsai – Classic silvery-green bonsai form.
