Variety origin click to read

Wild species & native range: Juniperus procumbens is a Japanese juniper, native to rocky, coastal slopes.

How the cultivar arose: ‘Nana’ is a selected dwarf form chosen for its exceptionally low, dense, creeping growth.

How it differs from related forms: Shorter internodes, denser canopy and superior performance as a groundcover/bonsai plant compared to typical forms.

Propagation & stability: Semi-hardwood cuttings; traits remain stable in full sun and lean, free-draining soils.

Use & ornamental value: Widely used in bonsai and landscape design for a “green carpet” effect and a clean Japanese aesthetic.

1) Planting / soil: Use a porous, free-draining mix (garden soil + river sand/pumice). Avoid standing water.

2) Watering: Water deeply and let the mix dry between waterings. Once established, it tolerates drought well.

3) Light / temperature: Full sun. Hardy in cold; in pots, protect only during extreme frost.

🧠 Greenleaf for geeks — plant facts nobody asked for geek

🌲 A conifer in the Cupressaceae family with scale-like/needle-like foliage depending on age and growth.
🧬 ‘Nana’ is a selection with short internodes and a naturally creeping, dense canopy.
🪴 It roots readily from semi-hardwood cuttings, which helps keep cultivar traits stable.

How much light does it need? light

Full sun for best density. It tolerates partial shade, but growth becomes looser and less compact.

How often should I water it? watering

After establishment, water infrequently. Let the soil “pull” (dry) between deep waterings.

What soil does it prefer? soil

A free-draining, porous mix, neutral to slightly acidic. Avoid any standing water.

Is it good for bonsai? How do I keep it? bonsai

Yes. Light pruning in spring / late summer, full sun, and deep but not frequent watering are the basics.

🔎 Note: Because plants are living organisms, the plant you receive may differ slightly from the one in the photo. Form, size or colouring depend on the season, growing conditions and the individuality of each plant.
