Water your Juniperlike most bonsai

• Before watering your plant, check the soil by
  sticking your finger about half an each in the
  soil or if it is on a rock, lift it and feel the
  soil under it.
• If the soil is still moist, limit the amount
  of water that youll pour on your bonsai to
  prevent root rotting. It is a general rule to
  never let you bonsai go dry for a long time.

  dry periods, keeping your bonsai dry for extended
