  Place the seeds in a container of warm water and let them soak for 24 hours. Drain the seeds and place them in a zip-top plastic bag. Put on plastic gloves and place an amount of milled sphagnum moss three to four times larger than the seeds into the bag. Add 1/4 cup of room-temperature water into the bag and close it. Allow the milled sphagnum moss and seeds to soak up the water for eight to 10 hours.

  The temperature should be 68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit.thermometer image by Alison Bowden from Fotolia.com
  
  Place the bag in an area with a temperature of 68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Wait one day to check the bag and pour out standing water. Leave the bag in a warm area for 90 days. When the seeds and moss become dry, add just enough water to make them moist, then pour out any unused moisture. Reseal the bag then check the next day and pour out any standing water. Continue to check for excessive dryness.

  Take the seeds out of the plastic bag and rinse the juniper seeds gently with cold water, in April. Place the seeds in a container of cold water and let them soak for 24 hours. Put on plastic gloves. Drain the seeds and place them in a zip-top plastic bag with milled sphagnum moss that is three to four times the volume of the seed. Add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of room-temperature water to the bag and close it. Allow the milled sphagnum moss and seeds to soak up the water for eight to 10 hours.

  Pour water into the bag for humidity.measurig cup image by Adkok from Fotolia.com
  
  Place the flat in a sunny room but out of direct sunlight, where the temperature during the day goes up to at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a measuring cup to pour 1 oz. water a week into the bottom of the plastic bag and let the humidity in the bag water the plant. Gradually open the bag wider after seedlings begin to germinate, acclimating the seedlings slowly for two to three weeks. Remove the tray from the bag and begin watering the the seedlings three times a week using the spray bottle until they are moist to the touch.

  Transplant the seedlings into the potsflower pots and trowels image by tim elliott from Fotolia.com
  
  Transplant the seedlings into small pots in two to four more weeks. Fill the pots with sterilized potting soil. Dig a hole in the middle of the soil in each pot with your spade to fit the seedling roots. Place one seedling into each hole and press the soil down firmly around each plant. Place the pots in a sunny area and water twice weekly with a watering can (the soil should be wet to the touch).
