Outdoor 名媛直播 - Can I keep it indoors with a grow light? was created by cjWilson80
Posted 6 months 3 weeks ago #83533
Hi Everyone! This is my first post here, I literally just found this site / forum today. I recently acquired a Green Mound Juniper, which is an outdoor bonsai. However, I live in an apartment, without access to a patio or deck where I can put this guy. So, my question is... can I use grow lights to keep this bonsai inside? If so, what grow lights are best? And, if not, what can I do!?
Thanks!
Courtney

No you cannot. Junipers are hardy, they require cold in the winter to go dormant. You cannot replicate that. They also need humidity and light, you would be better getting something that is a tropical species and does not need cold. If you are lucky keeping it inside it will survive for a few months. W get these posts on an almost daily basis, Junipers kept inside and are dead.

Geoff and Ivan nailed it.
If you want the best for your tree and cannot provide an outdoor space for it, just pass it forward to someone that can.
Indoors your tree will die and there are no way around it.
