Juniperus Chinensis Kishu - B5134

Sunlight: Prefers full sun for most of the day. Direct sunlight helps maintain compact, healthy foliage.

Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging but do not let the soil dry out completely.

Humidity: Adapts well to different humidity levels but benefits from good air circulation.

Pruning: Structural pruning should be carried out in late winter or early spring. Maintenance is done by pinching new growth during the growing season, avoiding scissors cuts that may damage the foliage.

Fertilization: Fertilise with a balanced fertiliser in spring and autumn. Reduce feeding during periods of extreme heat and in winter.

Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring, using a well-draining substrate such as akadama mixed with sand or pumice.

Flowering and Fruiting: As a conifer, it does not produce showy flowers. It may form small bluish berries, but its main ornamental value lies in its trunk, branching structure, and foliage.
