Watering
Your juniper will need very regular watering, never being allowed to dry out
High humidity is essential to maintaining your tree, supplemental humidity will almost always be required- a humidity tray is the best way to do this
When watering, ensure you are allowing the soil to be thoroughly soaked in order to let all roots be saturated
Light Requirements
Providing your tree with a spot where it is exposed to some direct light will be the best
Morning light is ideal to avoid burning the foliage, but to still provide prolonged direct sun
Junipers will tolerate being in bright indirect light, as they are naturally a low growing shrub which is sheltered by other taller trees
