Distress signal for bonsai, I need some help. was created by valos

Posted 2 years 5 months ago #77336
Hello,

I need some guidance to save my juniper bonsai. The one time I go out of town and leave my plants in the care of someone else, it was no good. Returned after 2 weeks and half of it was brown because of a spider mite fest, all my other plants were good. I got rid of the pest, but after a month of intensive care I don't see any improvement and the foliage on the brown part is starting to fall. I have followed all the guides about how much watering is needed, sunlight time, and fertilizer. There are some attached pictures, if some experienced growers know or see something I don't please let me know.

I cannot see any pictures. But junipers foliage stay green months after they actually dìed. Don't be too hard on "someone else"

I am sorry to tell you. This tree is dead. Did you keep it indoors? If that is the case that is the reason.

yeah, I live in an apartment and I don't have a patio, I placed the bonsai on a south facing window where it got the most sunlight. So no hope? I don't want to throw it away.

Junipers cannot be grown indoors. There are no hope left. Not for this juniper or any juniper indoors. Get yourself a jade tree.

Recently got this as a gift and was told it would be okay to keep it inside. It’s been a couple of months and it is looking extra dry. I like to think I’ve been watering it diligently. Is there any hope in saving the tree? Any suggestions on what to do?Thanks!

There may be a slight chanse of recovery still.

But you will need to get it outdoors right away. Start in full shade and then gradually during a 4-6 week move into full sun. Other than that, just focus on correct watering.
