☀️ Lighting ☀️
Place your Shimpaku Juniper outdoors in full sun to partial shade.
It requires at least 6 hours of sunlight daily to maintain dense foliage and strong growth.
Avoid placing indoors — it needs outdoor airflow and seasonal light cycles to stay healthy.
💧 Watering 💧
Water thoroughly whenever the top ½ inch of soil feels dry.
Ensure the water drains completely — never allow the soil to become waterlogged or completely dry out.
During hot weather, daily watering may be needed.
Misting the foliage occasionally helps maintain humidity and keeps the needles fresh.
🌥️Weather☀️
Best suited for outdoor temperate climates.
Protect from frost or strong freezing winds during winter by placing in a cold frame, garage, or protected outdoor space when temperatures drop below 20°F (-6°C).
