Zones 7-10GerminationThe seed germination process for Cupressus funebris, the Chinese weeping cypress, typically involves several steps to ensure successful growth. Initially, the seeds need stratification, a period of cold, moist treatment to break dormancy. This can be achieved by storing seeds in a moist medium like peat moss or sand in a refrigerator for several weeks. Following stratification, the seeds are sown in well-draining soil, lightly covered, and kept consistently moist. The optimal temperature for germination usually ranges between 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. Germination can take time, often occurring gradually over several weeks to months. It's essential to maintain moisture levels without waterlogging the soil to prevent seed rot. Once germinated, the seedlings require adequate light and care to thrive. Cupressus funebris seeds exhibit variable germination rates, requiring patience and consistent attention to support successful seedling development.
