The trunk develops a gnarled, textured bark over time, and the overall canopy can be trained into layered pads or sweeping forms through regular pruning and wiring.

It is sensitive to placement changes, so once you find a stable outdoor or bright spot, keep it there as long as possible. Move it outside for summer, and it can stay outdoors through autumn since it handles cooler fall temperatures well. Keep it away from air conditioning vents and heating units, as dry forced air affects the foliage. It needs high humidity, so a humidity tray or regular misting helps when kept indoors.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Sun_65296975-26d8-49a3-83b6-b7b0ed15ae73_480x480.png?v=1600397323\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Bonsai Juniper grows best in direct sun, ideally placed outdoors or in the brightest spot available.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Water_d9b740b9-bfce-41c4-ae3e-16bf9678c77f_480x480.png?v=1600397177\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It needs watering every five to seven days, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Soil_40a149eb-9d43-4bf0-ac38-159c702c72f2_480x480.png?v=1600397158\" class=\"ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Bonsai Juniper does best in a fast-draining bonsai soil mix, often a blend of akadama, pumice, and coarse sand.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Temperature.png?v=1613688445\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It prefers temperatures between 50°F and 80°F and tolerates brief frost, but performs best with consistent outdoor conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Fertilizer_5853ff19-6010-410a-a082-3abe233cb8d2_480x480.png?v=1600399297\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  Bonsai Juniper grows slowly, gaining a small amount of new branch length each season, and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2198\/4603\/files\/Spackle_0b1c313b-e538-42e0-8818-7f0bdf63d530_480x480.png?v=1600397104\" alt=\"\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e  It is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, tolerating temperatures down to around -30°F at the lower end of that range.
