zone 7A - advice wanted was created by PaulColbert

Posted 1 year 4 months ago #81177
Hello Everyone,

I live in zone 7A and have a number of junipers outside on a north south axis on the south side of my house. The temperatures have been mild yet windy. We usually have a fair degree of humidity however I am concerned that the wind will dry the junipers out. So far I can't get any consensus on whether I should give the junipers a humidity tray or mist them to help them with transpiration. Is this a good idea? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Junipers are adapted to dry conditions and will not worry about wind or sun.

I DO "shower" mine on hot days, as they love to get their foliage wet every once in a while. So basically I water the pot & foliage. If you have hard water, this is not a great idea because of scale buildup. I have a rainbarrel the water of which I use for the foliage.

humidity trays do not work
