Hi, I am a complete newbie to bonsai and was given a Juniper as a gift. It's currently a hot summer (30°C roughly) in Australia.
I give the bonsai sun until midday given its quite hot and water it once a day.

I've had the tree just under a month and have noticed the leaves becoming a paler green, and doing the scratch test saw it was pale green under the bark. Also some small branches have been going a bit brown and have had 3 or 4 tiny bits of leaf fall off. Attached some photos for reference

Pic 1:? the soil and the little leaves that fell


Pic 2: the true colour of the leaves (phone camera kept correcting colour but this one is pretty accurate)

Pic 3 & 4: some browning of leaves

Looks healthy to me. The new growth is paler than the old growth and the tree aborts some of its old needles that is not performing any longer or is shaded out by the new growth.
