Good evening,

I received a Chinese juniper (Juniperus Chinensis) for Christmas; while I am confident and adept with Citris, I have no idea how to care for this tree.

I would appreciate some advice on a proper watering and fertilizing schedule.

Please note: the tree faces W-SW, and receives partial sun, it is outside at all times, USDA Hardiness Zones 9b.

Lastly, I would greatly appreciate a recommendation on a fertilizer ratio suitable for this tree.

The attached image is the tree I received.

Respectfully,
Doc Nicholas

Good luck with your juniper.

HI and welcome to the empire.

Junipers take as much sun as you can give them. They do not like to be waterlogged so if it is now in regular potting soil, be carefull with loads of rain. If it is in well draining bonsai substrate, no need to worry.

Fertilize every 2 weeks during the growing season with regular fertilizer for potted non-flowering plants. (Unless you have loads of bonsai, there is no sense in buying special bonsai fertilizer. For most trees there is no difference anyway).

Enjoy!

If you can, please try again to upload a picture?

Thank you for the advice, here is a photo of my tree.
