Care information included. Exclusively from Eastern Leaf. Bonsai tree shape may vary. Since these trees are hand trained, tree arrives with wire on branches. We recommend leaving wire on tree for up to six months. Pot may vary depending on availability. Bonsai tree shape may vary from shown.

	Fertilizing: We recommend fertilizing your bonsai tree every month with a bonsai fertilizer. Time release granules are the easiest to use and can be added every season. Reduce the amount of fertilizer during the winter. Take care to not over-fertilize as this can cause your leaves to burn or grow too leggy.
	Lighting: Juniper Bonsai trees thrive best with natural sunlight. We recommend filtered natural sunlight. If placed in full sun, take care to manage your watering to prevent your tree from drying out.
	Temperature Requirements: Junipers are very hardy to all climates including both hot and cold condtions. Due to their evergreen nature, juniper bonsai trees will maintain their green color over all seasons. However, may darken during the winter when the weather is cold.

	Watering Requirements: Juniper bonsai trees require moderate watering. We recommend using a soft spray to soak the soil. Ensure that water penetrates not only the topsoil but also into the roots by checking that draining is occuring on the bottom of the pot. Keep the Juniper moist at all times.
	Repotting: Juniper bonsai trees can be repotted during spring and fall for highest success rates. Avoid winter repotting as colder temperatures will make it harder for roots to recover. During repotting, we recommend trimming off older roots to promote new growth. After repotting, place tree in a shaded area for 2-3 weeks prior to placing back in full or partial sun.
	Outdoor: Juniper bonsai trees thrive best in outdoor conditions. During the winter, trees can be overwintered to protect from freezing.
