Where to place a juniper bonsai?

Hey,

I got a juniper bonsai yesterday and am trying to decide where to put it. After what I've read inside is a NO. Right now I have it somewhere where it gets direct sunlight part of the day and partial shade for the rest of the day. I think that is a perfect place but I do not like it since I can't see it so I can't enjoy its looks as much. I could also put it in my back porch which has a roof. I talked with a experienced guy in bonsai and he said the porch would be fine even though it has a roof. Or I can keep it in my back porch most of the day and move it to direct sunlight or partial shade for a couple of hours and then take it back to the porch. I really don't mind having to move it everyday.

cid,

Of the three options that you mentioned I think that I would choose the first, Junipers like good light.

Ok then I will leave it where it is now (option #1).

Thanks, you answered BOTH of my posts.
