Hi everyone,

I'm writing because my little bonzai does not look healthy at all anymore and I need some help to save him!

Context and environment:

• Bought it around a year ago at a local shop. It came in the usual small plastic pot already filled with soil for juniper bonzai.
• I never did anything appart from watering it and putting the plastic pot into a ceramic decoration pot (like you can see in the pictures). In other words: never repotted, never fertilized, never cut any branches or anything else.
• I usually water it something like twice a week and would water it heavily under the tap, directed at the soil in order to avoid watering the branches and the trunk. I would always remove it from the ceramic pot to let the water drain for a few hours in the sink before putting it back into the ceramic pot to avoid roots to rot.
• I used to live in an apartment so the bonzai has always stayed indoors in the living room with decent luminosity but with no direct access to the sun.
• I moved a month ago and I now put it in a room with a lot of luminosity and direct sunlight (behind the window) during at least 6-7h a day. The temperature in the room fluctuate between 20-28*C. I now water it once every 2days, the same way I used to in my old apartment.
• I now have a terrasse so I could put it outside all the time with direct sunlight all day long or in the shade, the only thing is that sometimes there's a lot of wind. Also, I live in Montreal, so around October I will have to move it back inside until at least May.
• It has started yellowing a while ago, when I was in my old apartment. I though having direct sunlight would help now but it's not looking better. It looks really dry and like it needs water but I've killed a lot of plants from overwatering in the past so I try to stick to what I read in the past to water once every 2-3 days. There also are some branches that fall from time to time and I don't touch it or trim it from being scared of breaking more branches..

Please tell me what to do (if possible explain the reasoning so that I can learn), I really want to keep my little guy alive and see him healthy again with green branches!

Thanks!

I am sorry to tell you. That is a totally dead juniper. It died because it was kept indoors. There are no cure for death. Next time trying put it outdoors where it belongs.
