I believe I have a Juniper, the problem I have is once new growth happens the tips turn brown. I don't know the history of this plant, and im trying to save it.
I'm adding pictures, hopefully I can get some advice on what to do.

It looks like you are keeping it indoors? Please read basic care guides before you post in the forum.

Thank you so much for your warm inviting response for a first time user

Welcome to the forum. Please move your tree outdoors.

Better?

I'm still learning about Juniper care myself, but the first things I would look into:

1. Adequate sunlight - The direction that your window is facing is going to be a big deal. Along these lines I would consider the duration of sun exposure as well as the intensity. This is a big reason for moving outside if you possibly can. From what I've heard, Juniper is pretty much not going to work indoors flatout. At least I have yet to hear from anyone experiencing success with it.

2. Watering - Be careful not to overwater w juniper. I have a lot growing around me, and I am in a VERY dry climate. Your soil looks saturated. And maybe you just watered, but its something that came to mind quickly.

Beyond that I'm a bit of a newbie, but I hope that's helpful.

Sun is just one reason for keeping junipers outside and the least important one. Day night fluctuations as well as seasonal fluctuations in temperature is the most important one. It is a temperate tree that needs winter dormancy and summer heat or it will die.

Junipers absolutely love water. In right substrate and pot it is impossible to overwater. They also absorb water and nutritions from the foliage. So splashing the whole tree with good amount of water until it is soaking wet and there is a steady stream of water running out of the drainage holes is a good watering practice. Needles to say, this will make a mess indoors.

In that case I'm glad you corrected me on some of those things. I wasn't really aware of the importance of day/night cycles for bonsai though. I'm glad you bring that up so I can look into it further.

Far as watering goes, I had it in my mind that I would water thoroughly. With proper drainage there shouldn't be much to worry about there. I think where my understanding may differ is that I intended to let my juniper dry out a bit more than say a deciduous tree (if Im generalizing) between waterings. Do you advise against this @Tropfrog?

My post was not at all about day night cycles in bonsai. I was refering to junipers as a species and the environment and conditions they have evolved in and are adapted to. Temperate climate with 4 seasons including a cold one for dormancy. Putting them in a small pot will not change that. They still needs to be kept in an environment similar to the climate they are naturally adapted to.

In the winter I let my junipers dry out slightly. Cold and wet for a long time is not good and that is common situation here in winter. In summer i water abundantly every day.

Thank you so much for great advice. I am definitely trying to figure out the sun arraignment, and plan on moving it out doors, I just need to find a good spot.

I would say any spot outdoors is better than indoors. So no need to wait and plan. Move it outdoors now in a shaded place. Gradually during 4-6 weeks move it into more and more sun. That 4-6 weeks will give you plenty of time to prepare your final spot.
