The Sargent Juniper, native to China and Japan, is an exceptional evergreen cultivar that has long been prized for its ease of care, longevity, and resistance to deformation. In addition to its striking visual appeal, the Sargent Juniper is renowned for its exceptional hardiness, allowing it to thrive in a wide range of soil types and climatic conditions, including coastal areas, rocky slopes, and even harsh, exposed sites.

Caring for the Sargent Juniper:

• Sunlight: Requires a lot of sunlight to support growth. The most suitable temperature for the juniper bonsai should be above 15°C. During winter, keeping them indoors and far away from an open window or in cold places. 
• Watering: The juniper bonsai requires frequent watering. Never allow the soil to dry out completely. Lightly spray their foliage whenever necessary to keep them healthy.
• Pruning: Maintenance trimming is required to maintain a trees' shape. It is important to prune these growth areas regularly in order to encourage fuller growth. Hold the tip of the shoot between your thumb and index finger and carefully pull it away.
• Fertilization: Fertilizer should be applied at least once a month. Your bonsai will also respond well to foliar feeding every other month. Any general-purpose liquid fertilizer will do fine. It is suggested that fertilizers be used at half their recommended strength.
• Pest & disease: Resistant to pests and diseases. You may apply pest sprays on your bonsai if necessary.

這種原產於中國和日本的真柏因易打理和壽命長和不易變形而享譽已久，除了出色的視覺效果，真柏有很強的耐寒性，能夠在各種土壤類型和氣候條件下茁壯成長，包括沿海地區、岩石斜坡甚至惡劣的露地環境。

照護真柏方法

• 陽光：需在陽光充沛下養殖，在15°C以上就可以正常生長。屬性不耐寒，因此冬季需要放置於室內以及朝向太陽的地方，避免露地過冬。
• 澆水：在養殖的過程中需要留意水分的供給。在高溫及乾燥的環境下，需要額外給植株的樹冠灑水保持濕潤，葉子才會變得更翠綠。
• 修剪：適當的修剪是保持觀賞價值的重要一環。及時修剪徒長枝、枯枝及弱枝，能保持樹冠濃密豐盛。可徒手摘去枝梢，不單方便快捷，還有助盆栽健康生長。
• 施肥：生長期間的養分消耗較大，需要每月施一次薄肥；可以選擇農家肥、漚肥，以及養分比較全面的複合型肥。注意肥料的濃度不能太高，最好經過稀釋以後再使用。
• 蟲害：不易受害蟲感染，如有害蟲可使用植物專用殺蟲噴劑。
