Meet the Chamaecyparis Obtusa ‘Pygmaea’ 4”, a dwarf Hinoki cypress treasured for its graceful, compact growth and rich green, fan-like foliage. This slow-growing, easy-care conifer forms a soft, mounded shape, making it perfect for bonsai, rock gardens, or as a refined accent in small spaces.
The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun—brighter conditions encourage denser growth and richer color.
• Water: Prefers evenly moist, well-draining soil—allow the top inch to dry slightly before watering. Avoid extremes of drought or overwatering.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity—misting or a pebble tray can help prevent dryness indoors.
What It’s Telling You:
• Happy Signs: Dense, compact growth with deep green, feathery foliage.
• Needs TLC: Browning tips? Adjust watering and humidity. Sparse growth? Move it to a brighter location.
Good News for Pet Parents:
This plant is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe and stylish addition to homes with animals.
