tinylilbonsai,

I assume you received a small Juniper that looks pretty much like this.

Junipers need a dormant period or they will fail, read through recent threads here and see how much trouble people have trying to keep Junipers inside.

But, I am always reluctant to suggest that these trees (Christmas Juniper) be placed directly outside. Next spring it should go outside and remain there. For now do you have any sort of garage or outbuilding? Perhaps a screen porch? You need to get this tree into a cool environment until spring. A gradual transition would not hurt if you can manage it.

This is a situation that no one should ever have to deal with. Junipers are not suitable for indoor culture and by selling them at this time of year retailers are doing their customers a disservice.

No that tree is not mine, it was selected to illustrate a typical mass produced Juniper bonsai that are offered by numerous retailers this time of year. If that tree appeals to you, you should really take a look around before making a purchase. Try this.

You can do better by purchasing an ordinary nursery tree and styling it yourself. You will get more tree for your money and will learn more.
