Hello,
I was given a Juniper Bonsai Tree as an anniversary gift and so far I think I'm doing ok. I pruned a little bit of it today but I'm not sure if that was a good idea right now, was it?
when I took it out of the box it was all nice and green and now I see some of the leaves turning brown. What can that be?
when I first got it I was leaving it outside during the day and bringing it inside in the evening and I have central air but now I leave it outside and water it everyday. how do I know if I planted incorrectly?
Hi Jgaut.
I'm a complete newb at this too so take my advice with a grain of salt, but from the research I've been doing, you shouldn't be watering your Juniper everyday. Junes prefer a dryer soil than others and you should only water it when you can't feel moisture about an inch down in the soil. Depending on where you live they like a day or two without water until they dry out a little, then you soak them and repeat the process.
At least that's what I've learned so far. You can't water on a schedule. You have to water based on soil moisture. Hope that helps.
Anyone who knows better, please correct me if I'm wrong.
