Cypress trees need sufficient moisture in the soil. Regular watering is therefore absolutely necessary. However, the cypress cannot tolerate waterlogging. A bit of sensitivity is therefore required when pouring.
How should you water a cypress tree?
To water cypress trees correctly, you should ensure that they never dry out, but avoid waterlogging. Only water when the surface has dried and create drainage in the garden or pot to prevent waterlogging.
How to water cypress trees correctly
Cypresses should never dry out, but they cannot tolerate waterlogging. Therefore, always water the trees when the surface has dried.
To avoid waterlogging, you should create drainage and ensure permeable soil before planting cypresses in the garden.
Even when kept in a pot, it is advisable to cover the bottom of the pot with a drainage layer.
Water cypress trees even in winter
Cypress trees also need to be watered in winter, especially if no snow has fallen or strong winds dry out the soil.
Water your cypress trees or a cypress hedge on frost-free days. Slightly warmed water is ideal for this.
Tip
Use rainwater whenever possible when watering cypress trees. The water can be stale. Pond water is also suitable for watering.
