The shape of the juniper tree is particularly beautiful. The trunks and branches are twisted like a swimming dragon. The branches and leaves are in clusters, and the leaves are like green covers. The momentum is very majestic. It can be a single tree. The old juniper cypress trees can live for hundreds of years and look like paintings, so they can be enjoyed all year round. In addition, it is a book that prefers light, is relatively shade-tolerant, and likes cool and warm climates. So let’s take a look at how to breed it specifically.

1. Watering

1. Watering

Juniper juniper is very tolerant of drought, but it is very afraid of water accumulation, so it should not be too wet when watering. If it is not dry, If there is no need to water, you must water it when it is dry. If it is wet, do not water it. In seasons with more rain, you must be careful not to have too much water in the pot. When the temperature is particularly high in summer, you need to water it in the morning and evening. Just keep the soil in the pot moist, and you need to water it frequently. Spray water on the leaves to make them more green.

Juniper cypress Do not apply too much fertilizer to the stub, as this will easily make it grow longer, eventually affecting the shape of the entire tree and becoming particularly unsightly. Generally, it is enough to apply a relatively thin fertilizer 2 to 3 times from March to May every year, and 1 to 2 times in autumn. This way, the leaves can be kept very bright green and dense. , making it grow stronger.

3. Proper repotting

Because it grows relatively slowly, it can be repotted every 3 to 4 years. Repotting is usually done during the rainy season. Because it prefers moist and well-drained soil, you can properly remove part of the old roots when repotting, replace half of the host soil early, and add a little fertile and loose sandy culture soil. If it is a large tree, its old roots need to be removed before transplanting. It is best to keep the crown of the tree in its original position. Generally, it is best to do it at the end of autumn or at the beginning of spring, when the temperature is too high. The transplant survival rate will be very low.

4. Proper pruning

When the plant enters dormancy in winter, we can appropriately prune off some branches that are sick, not growing well, have pests or have grown too densely, so that new branches can be regenerated next year. The good ones grow out.
