well, gardener's tale: the case of the wilting cypress in chicago

Let me tell you about my friend Sarah's engage with in Chicago. — or so I think She had a gorgeous Golden Thread Cypress on her balcony, but it started to look totally sad one spring. truth be told, the tips were browning, and the plant just seemed generally unhappy. She was convinced she was watering it correctly, so she was stumped.

Turns out, the problem wasn't the watering schedule, but the soil itself! Chicago winters are tough, and the soil had become compacted and depleted of nutrients over time. Once she repotted the Cypress with fresh, well-draining soil and added a slow-release fertilizer, it bounced back beautifully! Sometimes, it's not always what you think it is.
