Care Guide for Grew Owl Juniper Shrub

PLANTING:

• Choose a location with well-draining soil and full sun exposure.
• Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and mix in compost or organic matter.
• Place the shrub in the hole, filling with soil and tamping it down firmly.

SOIL:

•  Well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
• Avoid soil that is too heavy or poorly draining.

MULCH:

• Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the shrub to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Keep the mulch several inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.

LIGHT:

•  Full sun exposure to thrive.
• Avoid planting in shade or areas with limited light exposure.

WATER:

• Water the shrub regularly for the first few weeks after planting, then as needed.
• Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

FERTILIZE:

• Apply an all-purpose fertilizer once a year in the spring or early summer.
• Do not overfertilize, as this can lead to leaf yellowing and stunted growth.

PRUNING:

• Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and promote healthy growth.
• Avoid heavy pruning, as this can damage the shrub and reduce its overall health.
