Quantity

Sunlight: Prefers full sun. Direct sunlight helps maintain compact, healthy foliage. Avoid excessive shade.

Watering: Water moderately, keeping the soil slightly moist but never waterlogged. Junipers appreciate short dry intervals between waterings.

Humidity: Adapts well to moderate humidity levels if there is good airflow. Avoid persistently damp conditions.

Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. Use manual pinching for refinement. Wiring can be done most of the year, avoiding extreme cold.

Fertilization: Feed from spring through autumn with a balanced fertilizer, reducing during winter. Slow-release organic fertilizers are preferred.

Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring, using a well-draining mix of akadama, pumice, and coarse sand.

Flowering: The beauty of Juniperus chinensis 'Itoigawa' lies in the harmony between its refined foliage and ancient bark — a living symbol of strength, balance, and calmness.
