That is quite the " i donno what ya call it " indeed. It does look like a good way to bang your head.

It’s a nice tree.
Where are you located???
Please do some quick research on it.
It will likely die inside. Unless you have a 3 season patio or something similar.

It's a neat concept and a cute setup but that's not a great tree species to try it with. Like most said that juniper will suffer in that environment. Ive seen people be successful with a setup like that using Norfolk island pine, though you'd want to hang the terrarium in a South facing window for light needs.

She might not be as happy when that dead tree ignites under that hot light in a couple of days. Hope the smoke detectors are working...
What hot light? You mean the battery operated leds?

yeah, I meant the "you didn't really say they were LED" lights...
The light might not be enough to catch the tree on fire, but they provide enough light to see what's inside the lantern...which, um, can't be unseen...To each his own...

good luck.

The wife? No... and neither is the lantern or the pot the thing is in. It's just sitting in the lantern can be pulled out or watered through door or the top is open air.

Why not use a fake plastic one? Lots of benefits :

Won't need watering or pruning
Impossible to kill
Can't really be distinguish between a real & a fake one in the lantern
You will save a real tree from death

Good luck!
