Sekka Hinoki Cypress is a unique cultivar of the Hinoki Cypress, originating from the lush forests of Japan. Unlike the standard Hinoki Cypress, the Sekka is a rare variation that has evolved into a highly prized ornamental bonsai tree. As the Sekka Hinoki Cypress matures, its branches and trunk develop a captivating, almost petrified appearance, resembling the graceful, weathered silhouette of an ancient bonsai specimen.

Caring for the Sekka Hinoki Cypress:

• Sunlight: Enjoys sunlight, but direct, intense sunshine can scorch the foliage. It's recommended to provide the plant with more mild, indirect light. Placing it in a partially shaded area is ideal. If you want to encourage faster growth, during non-summer seasons, you can move it to a sunny balcony or yard in the morning to receive ample, warm sunlight, then relocate it to a shaded spot after midday. In the summer, avoid direct sun exposure and opt for dappled light instead.
• Watering: The watering needs depend on its placement. If it is located in a spot with ample sunlight and good air circulation, and the potting soil has good drainage, the soil will dry out more quickly. In such cases, the plant may require watering twice a day.
• Pruning: Use clean pruning shears to trim any protruding roots, minimizing damage to the root system and preventing unruly growth.
  

石化檜是一種特殊的檜柏品種，源自日本的茂密林木。它不同於一般的檜柏，而是一種罕見的變異種，後來發展成為一種極具觀賞價值的盆栽樹種。隨著年歲的增長，其枝幹逐漸呈現出一種蒼勁、如石化般的姿態，宛如一株古老盆栽樹的優雅古拙。

照護石化檜方法

• 陽光：喜歡太陽，但太過強烈的陽光會將它曬傷，所以建議養殖者讓它接受比較柔和的陽光。平時放在半日照處即可，如果像要讓它快速生長，在非夏季時，你可以在早上將它放在陽台或庭院中，讓它接受到充足且溫暖的陽光，中午過後搬回陰涼處。夏天則避免曝曬，以接受散光為主。
• 澆水：澆水需要注意它的擺放位置，如果它是擺放在陽光充足又通風的地方，盆土的透水性又比較好，水分蒸發比較快，則需要一天澆兩次水。
• 修剪：以平剪手法將翹根部分根系剪掉，減少根系創傷面積，以減少根系凌亂。
