Then pried off the pebbles that were glued on the top and repotted in a
good draining mix (perlite and fine pine mulch). I have them outside in partial
sun (about 4 hrs of morning sun). I know I need to fertilize them what should
I use?


If you paid only $5 for these they are probably dead and the store is
trying to get rid of them.
Depending upon where you live, repotting a Juniper this time of year
is sure to kill it. Last fall (November, I think) I repotted some Junipers
here on the Space Coast. Less than 50% made it.
Perlite and fine pine mulch might be too wet for Junipers. Try using
the Perisano Pick in your pots. This is a chop stick, popsicle stick or
shishkabob skewer pushed into the soil about 1/2 way between the trunk and edge of
the pot. It should go as deep as the plant roots. Water only when this is
dry to your skin. (not on your hands)
