Monterey Cypress thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window.

For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn.
