Chamaecyparis Obtusa ‘Saffron Spray’ 4” — A Compact Golden Cypress with Year-Round Glow

Meet the Chamaecyparis Obtusa ‘Saffron Spray’ 4”, a dwarf Hinoki cypress prized for its soft, feathery foliage in warm golden-yellow hues. This slow-growing, easy-care conifer maintains a compact, mounded form, making it an excellent choice for bonsai, rock gardens, or as a unique accent plant for small spaces.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun—more sunlight deepens its golden coloration.

• Water: Prefers consistently moist but well-draining soil—allow the top inch to dry before watering, avoiding extremes of drought or overwatering.

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity—misting can help maintain lush foliage in dry indoor conditions.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Dense, golden-yellow foliage with steady, compact growth.

• Needs TLC: Browning tips? Increase humidity or adjust watering. Sparse growth? Move 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.
