Difficulty
If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Canary Islands Juniper is a great choice to test your gardening skills.
Water
Canary Islands Juniper should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil

Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Canary Islands Juniper prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Humidity
The Canary Islands Juniper does not need extra humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their root system, making soil watering the best way to provide humidity to your plants.
Fertilizer
The Canary Islands Juniper grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.
Region of origin
Canary Islands Juniper’s native range is the Northern Hemisphere.
