名媛直播

Hi there,

New to 名媛直播 and have got a juniper is chinensis blue point that got from a nursery and cut and shaped and put in a pot. It was looking very good for about a month and then in the last week it has begun to discolour.

Is this from burning or is it a watering issue. I was watering once a day when soil looked dry.

I don't want this tree to die

Without a picture and you location it is impossible to comment. Sounds as if you may have done too much at once and the tree is not pleased. If you did that amount of work it will need protection from frost in a greenhouse, not house.

If it is cold, junipers change from fibrant green to something purple/brown. but without pictures..

I am in Australia so quite a hot environment. Also sorry new to this site, and didn't attach picture properly

That's not from the cold. Seems this is caused by the wiring (and repotting and doing too much to a young plant at once, in the wrong season).

These yellowing parts are dying.The lowest branch on the right is dead. Actually, there doesn't seem much life left in this plant at all.

Thanks for your time, it's summer over here so I thought it may have been able to handle everything at once, I will try again, but maybe I will focus on more incremental steps rather than trying to do too much at once, maybe shape and style and wait for new growth before repotting. I won't give up but also at the same time I definitely don't want to kill any more plants.

Ah... sorry, I missed that.

so I thought it may have been able to handle everything at once,

No matter what the season is, it is never a good idea to do all at once. Everything you do stresses the tree, they need time to recover. Some can take more than others, but repotting/pruning/wiring a young juniper at the same time is usually a death sentence.

Good idea and note that we all have killed plants... it's part of the learning process.

In general, it is also better to wire junipers outside of the growing season. Their bark tends to be very loose in mid growing season, resulting in slipping relative to the wood underneath. I think this is what I see in your picture in the topL: Part of the bark seems gone from the trunk.
