I am pretty sure that I can't keep junipers alive indoors for more than a few weeks without humidity trays and strong lighting located very close to the plant.

Regards,

Matt

A week might be pushing it. Depending on what type of air conditioning or heat you're using it can pull the moisture right out of the leaves. Try a couple of days and see how it reacts.

Indoors

I had this Juniperus Procumbens Nana indoors for 6 months without any problems.

And I've got a climbing buddy who once fell 65 feet onto hard rock without even a broken bone.

But I wouldn't go try it on purpose.

Hi Levon, maybe a picture of the growing environment might be of help. Sunny windows? Open Skylights? Refreshing breezes from the Fjords blowing through open doors? High Pressure Lighting?

Or maybe office space with a dozen flourescents in the ceiling 12 feet overhead?

Regards,

Matt

OMC: Did he had his first Crow flying lesson ?

Matt: It was in the middle of my room, without to much sun, from dec. 2001 untill a may 2002, no fjords in the Neigberhood, cool temp (about 15 C).

But i have to agree with OMC. Don't do it without a very good reason ! All my Juniperus are outside now.
