Pronana Juniper Care

Planting: Choose a well-drained location with full sunlight for your Pronana Juniper. Ensure proper spacing to accommodate its mature size, typically around 2 to 3 feet in height and spread.

Watering: Water your Pronana Juniper regularly during the first growing season to establish its roots. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water deeply during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil: Pronana Juniper thrives in well-drained soil. Amend heavy or clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. Maintain slightly acidic to neutral soil pH for optimal growth.

Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the plant’s stems to prevent rot.

Fertilizing: Pronana Juniper typically does not require fertilization. However, if desired, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may lead to excessive growth and reduced vigor.

Pruning: Prune your Pronana Juniper as needed to maintain its shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or overgrown branches. Lightly shear the foliage to encourage dense growth and maintain its desired form.

Protection: Pronana Juniper is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, monitor for common issues such as spider mites or fungal diseases, and treat promptly if necessary.

Winter Care: Pronana Juniper is cold-hardy and typically requires minimal winter care. However, providing a layer of mulch around the base of the plant can help protect the roots from freezing temperatures.
