(19 cm pot)"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Juniper (Juniperus sp.)<\/em> is a hardy, low-maintenance evergreen conifer, highly valued in gardens for its natural foliage and extraordinary ability to adapt to different growing conditions.
This specimen features a low, wide, and irregular habit, with branches that develop predominantly horizontally, creating a standout presence for landscaping compositions. The evergreen foliage keeps your garden structured and colourful all year round.
Its hardiness and ability to thrive in relatively poor, well-drained soils, combined with extraordinary drought resistance once established, make Juniperus an ideal choice for Rock Gardens, Mediterranean gardens, slopes, and low-maintenance spaces. Several creeping species of the genus are used specifically as ground cover and in rock gardens.<\/p>\n

Ideal for: Rock Gardens | Mediterranean Gardens | Slopes | Ground cover | Low-maintenance gardens | Pots and planters<\/p>\n

Scientific name<\/strong>: Juniperus sp.<\/em>
Common name<\/strong>: Juniper
Family<\/strong>: Cupressaceae<\/em>
Origin<\/strong>: Genus widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe and Portugal, Asia, North Africa, and North America.
Climate<\/strong>: Temperate to Mediterranean
Category<\/strong>: Outdoor plant
Approximate height<\/strong>: 35cm
Di\u00e2metro vaso<\/strong>: 19cm<\/p>\n

CUIDADOS<\/strong>
Light<\/strong>: Prefers very bright spots with several hours of direct sunlight. In Portugal, it adapts well to the sun, including the summer sun when planted in the ground and properly established. It tolerates some partial shade, although too much shade can lead to less compact growth.
Temperature<\/strong>: A very cold-hardy plant, generally well-adapted to outdoor conditions in Portugal.
Watering<\/strong>: Water regularly during the establishment period, allowing the soil to partially dry out between waterings. Once well-established, it shows great drought resistance, requiring little supplemental watering when grown in the ground. In pots, you should water it more regularly during hot, dry summer periods, always avoiding waterlogging.
Soil\/Substrate<\/strong>: Highly adaptable, growing in different soil types, including relatively poor, sandy, or stony ground. The most important thing is to ensure good drainage, as it does not like permanently waterlogged soil.
Fertilisation<\/strong>: Not very demanding. In the ground, it generally requires little fertilisation. In pots, you can apply a balanced fertiliser for conifers during the spring, following the manufacturer’s recommended dosage.
Pruning\/Maintenance<\/strong>: Requires little maintenance. You can remove dry or damaged branches and perform light pruning to control the plant’s shape and size. Avoid heavy pruning on old wood areas without foliage.
Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial with persistent foliage.
Not Pet Friendly<\/strong>: Ingestion of any part of the plant by dogs or cats is not recommended.<\/p>\n

Curiosity<\/strong>: The Juniperus<\/em> genus includes trees, shrubs, and creeping forms, featuring either needle-like or scale-like leaves. Some species produce fleshy berry-like structures \u2014 actually modified cones \u2014 characteristic of the genus.<\/p>\n
