The Story Behind This Plant

Goldcrest Lemon Cypress is a cultivar of the Monterey Cypress, native to the coastal regions of California. This 'Goldcrest' variety was selected for its distinct golden-green foliage and strong citrus fragrance, and while it can grow into a large tree outdoors, it thrives as a compact indoor accent when pruned and potted.

How to Keep It Happy

Light: Loves bright light. Place it in a sunny spot with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Insufficient light can cause it to lose its golden color and become leggy.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Regular misting or a humidifier keeps its foliage fresh.
Soil: Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix.

Popular Plant Varieties
