watering
White cypress requires moderate levels of water to thrive. During the first couple of weeks after planting, water the tree every few days and then taper off to once a week. In the summer, keep the soil moist but do not allow the tree to stand in water. During the fall, water less often, allowing the soil to dry out most of the time before watering the tree again. As a general rule, avoid watering the tree in the winter, as this could cause it to become dormant.
sunlight
White cypress (Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Heatherbun') needs full sun or partial shade. It does best when exposed to 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day to promote healthy growth and flowering. However, it is important not to place the plant in an area that receives too much direct sunlight as this can burn its foliage, especially when young. In general, light from mid-morning to mid-afternoon is best.
