Siberian Carpet Cypress can be grown in any moist, but well-drained soil in full sun. It is tolerant of acid, alkaline or neutral soils.

Microbiota is virtually maintenance free. It is worth noting that the foliage will naturally turn bronze each winter, which may give the impression that the plant has died, however, this is perfectly normal.
