I like the article This plant in the winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 80 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. They tend to develop like erect small trees. The Cypress develops like a shrub. Fertilize Cypress
In the spring period we suggest fertilizing bonsai periodically, every 20-25 days, using a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour the development of new vegetation and of floral buds. On the market there are specific fertilizers for bonsai plants, which in general aren’t very concentrated, to avoid excess fertilization, which could damage the plants cultivated in small containers. Light Cypress
The Cypress bears even very harsh temperatures, therefore it can be grown outdoors without feeling endangered by low temperatures. It prefers partially shady locations, where it can be reached by the solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day.We should remember to move the vases in a quite sheltered place, during the hottest weeks of the summer, to avoid the water supplies from becoming excessive. Water Cypress
The Cypress Needs regular watering, but we suggest letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let's take action every 1-2 weeks , remembering to water the substratum well with 2-3 glasses of water . Bonsai are usually grown in very small containers, this is why it’s best to check for water supplies often, to avoid very damaging periods of drought. Pests Cypress
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden. Mold Cypress
Locate these plants in an averagely drained, not too humid soil.

Plant - Cypress
Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
