This plant is , like so many nowdays, commonly growen in a "light" bark
media, in a container. It takes a season for the roots of the plant to
spread and devlope into the surrounding soil.  In the meantime, watering
in the right amounts, is critical.  On one hand plants like Juniper can
stand quite a bit of fast drying, without noticable damege.  Microbiota,
however, can not tolerate this, and once damaged will deteriorate
quickly.  I have found that a steady moisture supply for these plants is
necessary.
