Holiday Cream Ball Japanese False Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Cream Ball’) is a delightful dwarf evergreen featuring soft, grey-green foliage tipped with creamy yellow. Its naturally rounded shape stays compact, growing just 1 to 2 feet tall and wide – ideal for tight spaces or eye-catching accents. Feathery branches give it a plush texture year-round, while the gentle color brightens borders or rock gardens. Its slow growth and easy care make it a perfect choice if you want reliable, interesting greenery without constant upkeep.

Using a live Cream Ball Japanese False Cypress inside over the holidays offers a change from plastic ornaments. After celebrating, keep it indoors a little longer if you wish and then move it outdoors in early spring, creating lasting value for your yard. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates unusual evergreens. This tasteful, living shrub elevates holiday décor in a way disposable items can’t match.

Holiday Cream Ball Japanese False Cypress Care

From January until spring’s arrival, locate the pot near a window with bright, indirect sunlight. Water only when the top inch of soil starts to dry, and if indoor air is dry, occasional light misting helps keep the needles looking fresh. Rotate the container once a week so the plant grows uniformly and maintains a neat, rounded form.

When temperatures moderate, place the cypress outdoors for a few hours daily, gradually extending its time in open air over a week. Then, dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball in well-draining soil, situate the shrub so the top of its root ball is level with or slightly above ground, and water thoroughly after backfilling. You may add a thin layer of mulch to preserve soil moisture, helping your Cream Ball Japanese False Cypress thrive in its new garden setting.
