Is it necessary to fertilize the indoor cypress?
Most plant substrates contain a lot of nutrients, so that fertilizing a room cypress is usually not necessary.

If you want to fertilize, add some liquid fertilizer to the irrigation water every three to four weeks from April to October. Under no circumstances should you fertilize in winter.

Cutting is not necessary. If the plant becomes too big or if you want to grow it in certain shapes, you can always use scissors.
When do you repot?
Indoor cypresses should be placed in larger pots and fresh plant substrate every two to three years.
