Japanese Juniper (Observations) | HelpfulGardener.com
There are it seems alot of people on here who have juniper as there first Bonsai. First and foremost juniper is an outdoor tree, unless you intend on spending lots of money and extrenous amounts of time to care for it indoors. Outdoors only, indoors for no longer than two days for display purposes. I have had my Juniper now for several months and I want everyone to realize that any Bonsai purchased or potensai "hate this word" require a long term commitment. My observations that I will be posting hopefully will serve to educate others on the Junipers growth,and additional conditions.
