Watering Requirements
Water newly planted Junipers deeply once a week during their first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, they are drought-tolerant, rarely needing supplemental watering except during extended dry spells. Potted plants may need water every 1-2 days, especially during peak summer heat.
Sunlight Requirements
Thrives in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Tolerates partial shade but growth will become leggy and thin.
Humidity Requirements
Junipers thrive best in low to moderate humidity (30%–50%), using their waxy foliage to conserve moisture and resist dry air better than most ornamental plants. While they can adapt to humid climates, high moisture paired with stagnant air or poor drainage increases their risk of fungal tip blights and root rot.

When and how should you prune a Juniper?
Prune junipers in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Lightly trim tips to maintain shape or encourage density. Avoid cutting into old, leafless wood, as junipers generally do not regenerate new growth from dormant wood (the "dead zone").
