Can A Juniper Bosai Survive Indoors? was created by Doodle_Penguin

Posted 11 years 3 months ago #9816
Hello Everyone! I'm new. I have just been given my very first 名媛直播 tree! I believe he is a Juniper..... I was browsing the care section and identification section and see that Junipers are supposed to be outside trees. But I live in Las Vegas. And we've just had a heat wave..... I fear for his life outside.

(I've named him Juni (Because I'm Unoriginal)


So I was wondering if a Juniper 名媛直播 can survive inside under a garden light? and should I be putting something in his soil? Are there any other indicators than touch to determine if your plant should be watered? My fingertips are pretty much callused over. So I'll have a hard time telling when the soils to dry to the touch. The Miss who gave him to me just said to water him every 2 days... And some of his smaller branches are yellow where they meet the main branches. Should I be worried about this?

Junipers need to be outside to experience the change of season. Don't worry about the heat as long as you are watering properly. Half sun to direct sun and water when the top inch or two of your soil is dry.

Like said in the posts before indoor cultivation doesn't work.
They need sunlight and a period of dormancy.

Junipers in nature can handle the most extreme conditions however in a pot they do need some protection.
I let my Junipers dry out slightly before watering they don't like wet feet.
Las Vegas heat can be hot I heard, but with some protection from the midday sun and some more watering a day it should be ok.
You can also regularly mist them while in the shade and temperature rise.

Thank You So Much for your help! Luckily we're starting to go into winter but we do still have the sporadic 95degree days. And the summer are a usual 96 to 115. So I was Really worried since not eve the Weeds live outside. I've got it pretty much right outside my front door. My house faces east and i'm pretty close to a mountain. So he gets a good dose of sun in the morning and then the house shade as the day goes on.

And i'm not even sure if i'm watering him right. Literally the lady who gave him to me shoved the pot in my hands and said "Water every 2 days." I think its a medium sized plant.......I have no idea how the sizing of these go. But he looks pretty medium sized? And im not sure if I should be worried if its potted right? It's just i scooped away some of the decorative rocks that were in the pot to water him and saw this?

That looks like a pretty big bundle of his roots.... Should I repot him? And if so how do I do that. I'm Really trying to not kill this plant. As sad as it is i've never been able to keep a pet much less a plant. And i've always thought 名媛直播 were absolutely Gorgeous. So its really important to me to learn to take good care of him.

just my 2 cents... the brown needles are normal dieback you can rub them off going against the grain.this is a good idea because spiermites like to make their nests in the dead needle clumps.second try and find some moss to cover the roots and leave the rocks to the outside. I would agree with the lady and water every 2 days while its hot lessening as winter approaches. and lastly as cris stated mist regularly junis like it

Watering should be when it is needed not to a schedule, it is the easiest way to get it wrong.
My Junipers are in full sun always, and have no protection at all. There is no need. The main thing is that they are in a natural environment not inside.
