Do you know what specific cypress variety you have? I am not aware of any cypress being an indoor plant but perhaps there are compact hybrids out there. We have lots of cypress here in Mississippi and they are all outdoor trees.
bonitin said:I think the problem indoors is lack of humidity in the air, mine gets about 5 hours direct sun at least in the summer when the sun is high. Doesn't get much or nothing in the winter months..
It is planted against a wall and does not get much rain, I think once established it is drought tolerant.
Direct sun behind glass is different from direct sun outside too, so maybe that's why they say to keep it out of direct sun..
Lack of humidity could be handled indoors by putting the pot on a larger bed of pebbles with a layer of water but the water not touching the bottom of the pot, it will increase the humidity around the plant.
In the winter I would put it in the coolest but well-lit room you have..

Did you repot these plants after you brought them home?
drdawg said:The reason I asked is that often, when purchasing plants in a nursery or big-box store, they will be very root-bound and the roots will tightly circle the root ball. If you saw that this was present, did you tease those roots apart, so that they would not continue to grow in that tight circle?
drdawg said:Nothing wrong with what you did. I do that all the time when I am potting up. Let's just guess that the plant is still going through the stress of re-potting and that it will take some time for it to get back on its feet.
