A reputable bonsai seller would never tell you that.

I was reading growing directions on the mallsai at a local big store. The mallsai included juniper, money tree, box, and scheflera. Others too.
Directions were all the same.
I would have laughed, but I was really sick to my stomach right about then.
But for anyone who really wants junipers indoors, I rememeber back in grad school, where I was studying wheat breeding. There were growth chambers in the basement, with temperature controle, humidity control, lights on timers, lots of lights. All the timers were the kind that could adjust over time, as in not only the lights went on and off, but at "night" the temperature was different from "day" temperature. This was at Kansas State University, known world-wide for it's winter wheat breeding.
I'm sure a juniper could be made happy in there. And for a heck of a lot of money, you can have one too. By comparison, my consultation fee will be cheap.
