I'm at a loss, lol. Someone here has to have a green thumb.

I have two tiny mini European Cypress bushes in my room that I got back around Christmas and they're just not liking my normally very "green house esque" room. They're the only plants in my room, among the other like 15 plants (including an ivy that's six times bigger than when I got it), that are threatening to shuffle off this mortal coil.

I've been trying to keep them in direct bright sunlight (my room faces east and I have three windows so I get sun into the late afternoon in the winter), I think I may have overwatered (dumped the water out when I realized) and I'm wondering if I have two suffering transplant shock and/or possible lack of fertilizer that I can't find (I keep reading about bone meal and blood??)

Help?

I can keep orchids alive for years but the little cypress trees are like NOPE.

Could the humidity be too low for them? Apparently they do better with ambient humidity, and soil that drains really well and doesn't stay soaked. I've also read that cypress doesn't do well as a houseplant and prefers to be outdoors.

I hope you can revive it--plants can be tricky!

These plants come from being grown in specific conditions so it takes a while for them to adapt. Make sure if you put them in a sunny spot that it's still cool. Cypresses will burn if they get too hot. Maybe better if they are in strong light but not direct sunlight unless they are planted outside. Good luck!
