Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’

Originally introduced in Japan in 1922, this low-growing juniper is prized for its tight, primarily juvenile bluish-green foliage and slow, measured growth. We grow Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’ grafted onto a standard, allowing masses of dense foliage to drape down and out, forming a dramatic upright accent with a minimal footprint. Left to grow naturally, this versatile plant spreads prostrate, spilling gracefully over containers, rocks, or low walls. Its adaptive nature makes it popular for bonsai, where it’s frequently used thanks to its compact form and ease of shaping.

Thriving in full sun and tolerant of a wide range of soils and challenging conditions—such as drought, heat, and poor soil—‘Nana’ is a resilient choice for landscapes of all sizes. Deer typically avoid it, and its low-maintenance habit suits rock gardens, borders, or mass plantings. Whether you’re looking for a beautiful ground cover, a striking cascading accent, or a bonsai specimen, Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper ‘Nana’ offers both functionality and year-round visual appeal.

Many perennials and bonsai plants take on a 'winter look' that's different from their summer appearance. The colder temperatures and shorter days trigger seasonal changes, which are actually part of their natural cycle. Some plants need this winter break to bloom and perform their best when the growing season returns. While they might look semi-dormant until early spring, these cosmetic changes don’t impact their health at all.

Bonsai Basic Care: Hard

Watering: Bonsais require careful watering. The frequency depends on the species and the climate, but generally, the soil should be kept slightly moist. Check the soil daily, and water thoroughly when the top layer feels dry.

Light: Most bonsai trees prefer bright, indirect light. A few hours of direct sunlight early in the morning or late in the afternoon is beneficial, but a direct midday sun can be harmful, especially in hotter climates.

Soil/Drainage: To prevent water retention and root rot, use a well-draining bonsai-specific soil mix.

Temperature/Humidity: Depending on the species, bonsai trees can be kept indoors or outdoors. Indoor bonsais generally prefer temperatures between 60-75°F and benefit from increased humidity, which can be achieved through daily misting or humidity trays.

Feeding: Fertilize your bonsai regularly during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks or as recommended for the specific type of tree.

Pruning/Training: Pruning is essential to maintaining the shape and health of a bonsai. Regular pruning of the roots and canopy is necessary. Training with wires can also shape branches and direct growth.

Repotting: Most bonsai trees require repotting every 2-5 years to prevent root crowding and replenish nutrients in the soil. This is best done in the spring.

General Tips: Regularly inspect for pests and diseases. Bonsai trees are susceptible to insect infestations and fungal infections, which should be treated promptly to keep the tree healthy.

Older picture books have better stories and hand drawn illustrations
Format: Paperback
Fun to read aloud, old-school, easy read by Diane DeGroat about classroom friendships, honesty, kindness, and fixing mistakes. K-2nd grade will enjoy. So many of today’s children’s books lack depth, depend on dumb fart/poop jokes, are tied to tv shows/movies, or overfocus on moralizing and turning kids into little adults. Read for fun with your kids as often as you can! Check out children’s authors/illustrators from the 80’s and 90’s!

Entertaining and teaching book
Format: Paperback
I got this for Valentine’s Day for my 7 year-old grandson. I thought he’d enjoy the book as the title is funny, not “mushy.” He enjoyed reading the book to me, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a lesson on being kind.
