Green Mound Juniper

The green mound juniper is a unique bonsai in that it can be used for indoor or outdoor use, although this hearty bonsai thrives best in outdoor environments. We recommend not leaving your bonsai inside for more than five days for optimal growth.

Upon receiving your bonsai, it is best to acclimate it in a shady area for one week before moving it to your desired location outdoors. All outdoor bonsai prefer morning sun and afternoon shade, making patios and decks great areas to display these unique plants during the growing season.

In winter, outdoor bonsai should remain outdoors. These hearty plants are able to withstand cold temperatures, but in areas that have extremely cold winters, bonsai can be protected in garages, sheds, cold frames, or basements. Protect your plant by covering the pot and soil with pine needles or mulch when temperatures approach freezing.

Water: Water daily in the spring, summer, and fall – less frequently in winter. Never let the soil dry out.

Temperature: Morning sun and afternoon shade

Fertilizer: Fertilize with water-soluble or time-released fertilizers. Inspect regularly for insects and diseases.
