Juniperus chinensis 'Pancake'
Juniperus horizontalis
'Pancake'
Juniperus horizontalis 'Pancake' Growth Characteristics: Juniperus horizontalis 'Pancake' is a hypoallergenic evergreen shrub that grows by creeping along the ground. It is relatively low in height, approximately 10 to 15 cm, and can grow up to 90 cm in diameter. The leaves are needle-shaped, soft, and dense, forming a thick mat. This variety thrives in cool climates and grows healthiest in sunny locations. Propagation Method: Propagation is primarily done through cuttings. You can take cuttings by cutting healthy branches about 10 cm in length in spring or autumn. Using a rooting hormone can help promote root growth. Additionally, it is recommended to prepare the soil with a well-draining mixture of sand and peat. Cultivation Method: Juniperus horizontalis 'Pancake' prefers well-draining soil and favors locations that receive ample sunlight. It is important to ensure good drainage at all times and to avoid overwatering. Particular caution is required during the winter, as excessive moisture can cause root rot. Garden Use: This variety of Tukhyang is primarily used as ground cover and is well-suited for rock gardens or embankments. Because it grows low and wide, it can cover space quickly and effectively, and it harmonizes well with other plants. Major Pests and Control Methods: Major diseases include leaf mold and root rot, while aphids can be a problem as pests. Leaf mold thrives in humid environments, so it is important to maintain good ventilation and avoid overwatering. Fungicides can be used for emergency control. Aphids can be removed with soapy water upon early detection, or controlled using insecticides in severe cases. When controlling pests, always select the appropriate method considering its impact on the environment and other organisms.
