Water the Temple Juniper thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter to allow the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done in mid-summer to shape the plant and control its size.

Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as recovery can be slow.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining soil mix. Keep moist and provide bottom heat.

Cuttings may take several months to root.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years, and mature plants less frequently, typically when root-bound. The best time to repot is in early spring before new growth starts.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil and perlite.
