1. Planting: The Jade Waves Fernspray False Cypress does best in full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil. When you're ready to plant, dig the hole twice the size as the root ball and just a little shallower, and place your False Cypress. Hold the shrub straight as you begin to backfill the hole, tamping down the soil as you go. When it's completely backfilled, add water to settle the soil and remove any air pockets.

If you're planting in a container, make sure it has plenty of holes in the bottom for drainage. The pot size should be at least twice the size of the one it initially came in.

Choose a location on the patio, backyard, or front or side of the house, providing it will receive full sun.

2. Watering: Jade Waves Fernspray False Cypress trees prefer regular watering, especially in times of heat or drought. Water weekly, or stick your finger into the surrounding soil down to a depth of 2 inches and feel for moisture. If the soil is drying out, water it until you see it escaping the drainage holes (when potted) or until the area is moist.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your shrub well after a year of growth, once the root system has had enough time to establish. Using a general fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, every spring will give it a boost.

4. Pruning: Though it's not required, you can prune your Jade Waves Fernspray False Cypress to shape.
