Planting instructions
Choose a location with well-draining soil that receives ample sunlight. Dig a hole twice as wide as the juniper's root ball and equally deep. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground surface. Backfill with soil, gently pressing down to eliminate air pockets. Water deeply after planting and apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from direct contact with the plant's stems.

Watering & sunlight
To establish the Blue Pacific Shore Juniper, ensure consistent watering, especially during dry spells. Once established, it exhibits drought-resistant qualities. Its preference for full sun to partial shade allows flexibility in landscaping designs.
Care guide

PRUNING:
Periodically trim Blue Pacific Shore Juniper to maintain shape and density, and remove any dead or unhealthy branches to encourage vigorous growth.

FERTILIZING:
Apply a general-purpose, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish.

WINTER PROTECTION:
Blue Pacific Shore Juniper is generally winter-hardy, but in extreme cold, a light layer of mulch around the base can provide extra insulation.
