Are Juniper Indoor or Outdoor Plants?

Juniper is an evergreen, coniferous shrub or tree native to the Northern Hemisphere. It has been popularly used in landscaping due to its attractive foliage and ability to tolerate drought, cold temperatures and other harsh conditions.

Junipers are often grown as ornamental plants in gardens, parks and public spaces.

Junipers come in a variety of shapes and sizes ranging from low growing groundcover varieties to large trees. They are generally easy to care for and can be grown in a variety of climates. Juniper can also be grown indoors, but they need bright light, good drainage and regular watering.

When it comes to indoor growing, junipers require more attention than outdoor varieties due to the lack of natural sunlight and the need for more frequent watering. They should be placed near a window with direct sunlight for several hours each day. In addition, they should be watered about once a week in order for them to thrive indoors.

It’s important to note that even when grown indoors, juniper still needs temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit during winter months in order to remain healthy. If temperatures fall too low, it can cause damage or even death of the plant.

Conclusion:

Juniper is an evergreen coniferous shrub or tree that can be grown both indoors and outdoors depending on your climate and preferences. When grown indoors, it requires more frequent watering and bright light in order for it to flourish. Juniper also needs temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit during winter months in order for it to stay healthy.
