I was on the same thought, kept too dry and/or allowed to dry out.

Contrary to common believe one should not let a tree dry out. Especially when a juniper is in oen substrate (Like the gravel you have there) water is important.

I water my junipers every day. When temps goes over 30c and it is sunny, this often becomes twice a day. When I water, with a hose & shower attachment, and I give so much water that it runs out of the pot. On hot days I might water and once I am done I start at the beginning and water again, ensuring the whole pot gets water.

Most beginners underwater. This is because crap beginner trees grow in crappy black dense muck, where you kill a tree if you water properly. Once a tree is in decent, draining, aerated substrate you need to water lots & frequently.

^OK. That's good advice. I was warned against overwatering which is hard to determine.

I have been watering it more often, like 3-4 times a day and misting. But it's still yellowing and browning in parts especially the "undercarriage" and the yellow tips fell off after a thunderstorm. Today's pics attached.

I think it was next to a wall on the balcony so less wind, so I moved it today to the backyard unblocked on 3 sides to get wind too.

I also got a Moisten land automatic drip irrigation to make it easier when I forget. But let's see how well this gizmo works...

watering 3-4 times a DAY?
Maybe if you are in Dubai the pot dries out that quickly. But normally not.

Just to make sure: THe whole pot is fill with these pebbles, and your tree is rooted in them right? It is not just a decorative layer?

When you water your tree, what do you mean with that? How do you go about it?

An update: I have been watering once a day at night usually and keeping it in shade and it's yellow tips have dropped off mostly, some small new growth too, but the parts that were browning/yellowing are still brown/yellow...mainly on lower part and right side...see pictures attached.

Not sure how to heal that yellowing...

The yelow foliage is dead. There are no way to cure that. Put your focus on the parts of the tree still alive.

Hey guys,

The tree is doing great now. I need to do some trimming...but now it is -6 celsuis at night so I am wondering what I should do to keep it warm? Leaving it outside is okay even when winters will be -20?

It does not need to be kept warm!! It is a plant that is hardy. outside unless it gets cold, -6C is not cold

No pruning this time of the year. It is not only hardy, it needs the cold dormancy to survive.

Oh ok. Well how should I water in the cold? Warm water? I am worried about causing ice damage...

If you are in the northern hemisphere not much watering is needed from now until spring. But watering is excactly the same in summer and winter, only when the tree needs it, never on a scedule

Junipers is hardy down to usda zone two. There are absolutelly no reason to worry about cold damage. If the tree is frozen for a long time and exposed to cold and dry wind there may be a risk of drying out. So protect from wind is the only necessary thing to do. If you are in a place which gets a lot of snow, just put it on the ground and let the snow cover it. That is the best protection and you don’t need to worry about watering.
