Default [IBC] Tempting the Devil

Iris,
It sounds to me that you have the thing mastered. Do the same thing again!

For about five or ten years, I have been doing what we tell people not to do:
growing a juniper indoors. The catch is, not on a windowsill & not all year.
It
is a J. squamata 'Prostrata,' usually sold as J. procumbens 'Nana.' Of course
it was outdoors all summer. My practice, as with some subtropicals, was to
leave it outdoors until late October or November (first night under 25), and
then give it a further dormant period in the unheated sunporch. Following
this,
it was placed under very bright fluorescent lights in the plant room (December
or January), with the humidity most of the time around 70%. Then outdoors
again
after last frost (usually early May). It thrived mightily, in fact the
branches
got too thick. Last spring I got mad at it, cut off the top, and planted it in
a flower bed for a couple of years. Now I have a cascade 'Shimpaku.' Can I
give
it the same treatment? Are there any necessary variations? It is in the
sunporch at the moment.
Thanks
Iris,
