1. Planting: Junipers thrive in full sun to part sun and adapt to any soil that is well drained. They do like a neutral to acidic soil, so if you know you have an alkaline soil, choose an acidic fertilizer (most fertilizers for evergreens are acidic). Junipers are great "street shrubs" as they tolerate pollution and salt well. After planting, adding a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch will help keep the soil moist and protect the lower branches from fungal issues.

2. Watering: For the first few months, water your shrub every week or so. After it is established, you only need to water it during hot periods without precipitation.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize when planting and yearly in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer.

4. Pruning: Once plants become mature, thin them out by pruning them just a little bit to allow air circulation.
