The Juniperus rigida, commonly known as Needle Juniper, is a classic and highly regarded bonsai species, prized for its sharp, needle-like foliage and rugged, natural appearance. It is best kept as an outdoor evergreen bonsai, where it can fully benefit from fresh air and seasonal changes.
This particular tree stands approximately 24cm tall and is elegantly presented in a un glazed ceramic bonsai pot measuring 11cm depth and 15cm width. Its compact size and graceful shape make it perfect for desks, windowsills, or shelves adding a calming, natural aesthetic to any space.

Juniperus Rigida are very hardy but should not be kept indoors and need to be protected from temperatures below -10 °C. During winter, it’s normal for the foliage to turn a purplish-brown colour. This is part of the tree’s natural frost protection mechanism, and the leaves will return to green in spring. We recommend protecting the tree from severe frost and freezing temperatures, as the bonsai pot can freeze. Use a cold frame or move it to an unheated greenhouse or similar sheltered space during extreme cold.
Watering
No strict schedule, watering needs vary based on climate, soil, airflow, and pot size.
We recommend using the submersion method, which we’ve detailed on our Best Way to Water a Bonsai Tree blog post.
Feeding
Feed weekly or fortnightly from March to October with Chrysal Liquid Bonsai Feed (2 ml per litre of water). Add directly to the water during submersion.
Use Naruko Slow Release Fertiliser, either sprinkled on the soil or placed in a fertiliser baskets.
Regular pruning keeps your bonsai healthy, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. During the growing season (March–September). Throughout the growing season, you can trim or pinch back long shoots that stick out from the shape of the tree. Approximately, when they reach 5 cm in length, prune them back to maintain a compact shape.
Wiring is best done during late autumn, when the tree’s growth naturally slows. Use wire that is approximately the same thickness as the branch. This helps gently shape and refine your bonsai’s structure over time.
