Juniperus procumbens, commonly known as the Japanese Garden Juniper, is a low-growing evergreen shrub native to Japan. It is part of the Cupressaceae family and is often used in bonsai and rock gardens due to its attractive foliage and compact growth habit. This plant thrives in temperate climates and is hardy in zones 4 through 9. It has a dormancy period during the winter months.
Juniperus procumbens prefers full sun with direct bright light for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and requires soil that dries out almost completely between waterings. The plant does well outdoors and can tolerate a range of humidity levels, though it prefers moderate humidity.
Bodem
This plant prefers sandy, well-draining soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in soil with moderate nutrient concentration. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Kunstmest
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for Juniperus procumbens. Fertilize during the growing season to support healthy growth, but avoid over-fertilizing as it can harm the plant.
Verpotten
Repotting is necessary when the plant outgrows its container or when the soil becomes compacted. This is typically done in the spring. Ensure the new pot has good drainage and use a sandy soil mix.
Voortplanting
Propagation can be done through cuttings or seeds. Cuttings are best taken in late summer, while seeds can be sown in the fall. Ensure cuttings are kept in a humid environment until roots develop.
Snoeien
Pruning is required to maintain the shape and size of the plant. It is best done in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or diseased branches to promote healthy growth.
Toxiciteit
Juniperus procumbens is not considered toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is best to prevent ingestion of any plant material.
