Light: The hardest part of keeping a lemon cypress is giving it sufficient light. Regularly grown outdoors, this cutie requires a lot of light. To keep it happy, you'll need to keep it in a south facing window and rotate the pot regularaly so each side gets a turn in the sun. 

Temp: Although it cannot handle a northern freeze, this plant is perfect for those of you who keep your thermostat in the low 60s during the winter months. 

Water: Not drought tolerant. It likes a good drenching about once a week or so. If you see dry soil, water it.
