Planting and care of cedar
Care instructions:
Wants a lot of sunlight, so it is best to place the plant near a window indoors or in a sunny location outdoors.
The soil should be kept moist, water before the cedar dries out completely.
However, like all plants, you should be careful not to overwater. If the needles turn yellow, it is a sign that you have watered too much.
If you have the cedar in a pot outdoors, it should ideally be frost-free, but it can withstand temperatures down to -25 degrees.

You can also plant cedar directly in the ground in the garden, but since it does not originate from northern latitudes, it should be winter covered every winter with, for example, burlap. Since the branches are tender, it is also important that the cedar tree does not become too covered with snow, as this can cause the branches to break off.
A cedar tree wants a lot of sunlight, so a south-facing location works best. The cedar tree should also not dry out, so make sure the soil is always slightly moist. When it is a few years old, it becomes more tolerant to drier periods.
