With its distinctive, slightly scraggly form and vibrant green foliage, this unique tree brings the spirit of the season indoors.

**Care Instructions:**

- **Light:** Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a bit of direct sunlight in the morning or late afternoon. Too much direct sun may cause the needles to scorch, so ensure it receives filtered light throughout the day.
- **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, but never let the tree sit in water. Ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot. During the winter months, reduce watering slightly, as growth slows.
- **Temperature:** Thrives in cool to moderate temperatures between 50–70°F (10–21°C). Avoid placing the tree near heat sources or in drafty areas, as it prefers stable, cool environments.
- **Humidity:** Enjoys moderate to high humidity. If your home is dry, particularly in the winter, consider using a humidity tray or lightly misting the tree to maintain moisture in the air around it.
- **Fertilizing:** Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing during the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
- **Pruning:** Prune lightly to maintain its fun, scraggly shape and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Regular trimming will help keep the tree compact and full.

**Mature Indoor Height:** The Cypress Grinch Tree typically grows to about **2–3 feet tall** when kept indoors, making it the perfect size for tabletops, countertops, or as an eye-catching holiday centerpiece.

**Note:** The Cypress Grinch Tree adds a quirky, festive touch to any space and is perfect for holiday decor, but it’s also a beautiful year-round plant that requires little maintenance once established. Its playful shape and vibrant green color make it a unique and fun choice for homes with pets and children, as it’s non-toxic.
