What is the proper way to water/feed a Juniper Bonsai Tree?

0

Water from the top like any other plant. The best way is to use a watering can or a hose nozzle with a fine shower. There is no need for a water tray. I’m not sure where the idea of soaking the entire pot came from, but I can say that I know of no professional bonsai growers that use this method. Junipers should be allowed to dry out a little between waterings. They do not need to be kept wet. When the top of the soil begins to appear dry, it’s time for more water. A good way to feed is by using a standard liquid tree/shrub fertilizer (Peeter’s, etc.) diluted to 1/2 or 1/3 strength. The tree should be fertilized about monthly through the growing season. Also, a juniper is an outdoor plant, it must be kept outside all year to survive. It can be brought indoors for short periods of time (days). A common misconception is that it can be grown indoors.
