    Don't fertilize your stressed plant until it recovers, because that will only stress it more. Just keep watering whenever the soil is beginning to get dry, but don't overwater either. Your plant is probably taking the water and slowly recovering.

    To prevent this from happening again, consider adding mulch to the pot on top of the soil. This will help conserve water. But it will still need watering on a regular schedule.

    Trees often lose leaves and/or turn brown when they're indoors for the winter, because it's difficult to give outdoor plants enough light indoors, and the humidity level can also be a problem. However, most of these plants will come back in the spring. Try moving your plant outside gradually so it has time to adjust, as explained in this article:

    Also, be sure not to overwater the plant until it starts growing again. Check the soil each time and water when the soil is dry, but don't let the soil stay soggy.

    Lemon Cypress trees do need quite a lot of water, especially in pots. Make sure to water this new one whenever the soil starts to dry out. Do let it dry out, though - it's easy to overcompensate and accidentally drown a potted plant.

    Maybe even more important that water is light. Lemon Cypress trees need lots of sun and really don't do well in the shade. Make sure it's in a place that gets full sun.

    Give them as much light as possible, and they may come back. This plant typically needs a lot of water, but in their weakened state they won't be using much, so make sure the soil doesn't stay too wet (but doesn't get bone dry either). Here are more tips for caring for lemon cypress:

    Grump tree is often lemon cypress. If it is in the container from Trader Joe's, repot to a larger pot using a quality potting soil mix. Soak the plant weekly and water in-between soaks if the indoor air is drying it out quickly. It must have bright sunlight; turn the plant frequently so a different side gets sun. If your area doesn't receive bright sunlight, use supplemental lighting.

    You can use all purpose potting soil. That will be just fine. I cannot find any literature on it being poisonous to pets... But it may cause skin irritation at most. I don't see it being a problem. Here is an article that will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/cypress/lemon-cypress-care.htm
