Dense Jade Cryptomeria Bush (Tree Form)

Sculptural evergreen form with glossy foliage

Dense Jade Cryptomeria Bush offers thick, glossy green leaves on sturdy, branching stems trained into a small tree form. Its tidy shape and succulent foliage bring year-round structure and rich color to patios, entryways, and bright indoor spaces.

This low-maintenance plant thrives in containers and handles occasional missed waterings well. Display it as a living accent outdoors in warm, frost-free climates, or grow it indoors near a sunny window where temperatures are cooler.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a container with drainage holes and use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Place in bright light, introducing direct sun gradually to prevent leaf scorch.

2. Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering again. Reduce watering during winter, and never let the pot sit in standing water.

3. Pruning: Trim in spring or summer to maintain the tree-like shape and encourage fuller branching. Remove damaged or crowded growth with clean, sharp pruners.

4. Fertilizing: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when growth naturally slows.
