- Planting:
- Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil.
- Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.
- Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
- Ensure adequate spacing from other plants and structures to accommodate its mature height and spread.
- Watering:
- Water regularly during the establishment period to support healthy root development.
- Once established, Junipers require low to moderate watering; they are drought-tolerant and can survive with minimal water.
- Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Pruning:
- Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
- Light pruning can be done throughout the growing season, while major pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
- Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as it may not regrow effectively.
- Fertilizing:
- Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
- Use fertilizers formulated for evergreen plants to provide essential nutrients.
- Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to excessive growth and potential issues.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Junipers are relatively pest-resistant but can occasionally suffer from pests such as spider mites, scale insects, or juniper webworms; treat with appropriate insecticides if necessary.
- Monitor for diseases such as fungal infections, root rot, or rust; ensure good air circulation and avoid waterlogged soil.
- Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests or disease and address issues promptly.
