What causes Leggy and Sparse Growth?
Insufficient sunlight (less than 6 hours daily) causes the plant to stretch for light, resulting in elongated stems and thin foliage.
How to treat Leggy and Sparse Growth
Relocate the plant to a spot receiving at least 6 hours of full sun, and prune leggy branches to encourage bushier, more compact growth.
How to prevent Leggy and Sparse Growth
Ensure junipers are planted in a location that receives full sun for most of the day; for potted plants, rotate regularly to ensure even light exposure.
