Hi,
I noticed that my juniper has got a few brown and partly brown needles on it and I am not sure if its a bad sign or if I shouldn't be worried about it.

I usually think that the needles turning brown is always a bad thing but it's different than any dying trees I've seen where usually the ends turn brown first and not a few scattered needles. Some other things I've noticed is that the brown needles look similar to the ones growing growing off of the bark and also that that bark has a spot that looks brighter than the rest.

For the care of the tree I make sure to water it then the soil under the large rock I have is getting firm and mist the tree with a spray bottle about once a day. I move it around so that it's in the sun for the majority of the day and bring it in overnight. The tree has not been repoted since I bought it 2 years ago which I think is a problem but I missed the time to repot this spring and the tree already started growing this season. And for pests to my knowledge there is nothing in the tree except for a few spiders that come and go. (Not spider mites)

I also have some images of the tree. And the spots I'm talking about.

Old needles do die natutally. Your tree looks fine to me. But I am a little bit concerned about the way you baby your tree. The natural cycle for a juniper is warmer in days than in nights and warmer in summer than in winter. The best way to respect this is to leave it outdoors at all time and stop taking it indoors. When you think about it, there are not one species of tree in the whole world that migrates. Not to indoors, not to more/less sun and definetely not going South for winter

I am sure your tree will be much better off left outdoors at all times.

This looks like a healthy tree to me. The dying of old needles is a normal process.

You can just leave the tree in one spot though. There is no real need to move it around and it might actually be hard for the tree to deal with!

Might be helpfull:
