Hello everyone,
my name is Martin and I have a question about juniperus chinensis bonsai. I would like to buy one (my first juniper). I would like to put this tree on my windowsill (outside not inside ofcourse) but this window Is situated to the north... So there is direct sunlight only about two hours in the morning and next two hours in the evening during sunset. It is enough for this tree or I should find different place?
Thank you very much and I'm sorry for my english.

Juniper are full sun plants. I think finding a better spot would be the best idea. There are some varieties (ground cover types) that are more shade tolerant, but even those would require more than a few hours of sun a day.

Junipers ( and all trees really) die inside, it has to be placed outside.

It is outside but on window which is situated to the north. And I'm not sure if the sunlight there is good enough for this tree.

Ah, yes, I missed the outside part you wrote. I would place it somewhere else with more sunshine. But be aware that windows reflect a lot of light/sunshine so check it twice a day to see if it needs water
