juniper dying was created by jonnybravo

Posted 8 years 11 months ago #18533
Hi All
My Cousin has purchased a nice Juniper tree about 12 months ago and has kept it indoors all the time he has owned it.He has asked me to try and revive it as I am a keen gardener. I have had it in my garden for the last 2 months hoping it can be saved, I repotted it when I received it from him but the needles are still very brown but well attached with no needle drop. Any help i would be very greatfull

Give it up. It was already dead or very week when you got it from him.
You moved the dead or dying plant outdoors in winter, to a climate and temperatures it wasn't used to, sealing its fate. So it died, inevitably. The plant didn't have a chance.

And now our daily mantra:
It wasn't a bonsai. Just a small young cutting in a pot with no bonsai training or styling. He overwatered it and kept it indoors. Junipers don't belong indoors.

No it wasn't a small tree with no training,it is approx. 14inch high from a bonsai outlet with a very nice shape it cost him quite a bit of money but he was ignorant of how to look after it.
I realise it is most likely too late to help him but just hoped someone could suggest anything to try that I may have missed

So, I was wrong and it wasn't a cutting. Doesn't matter.
If it was from an outlet, it was that typical, S-shaped mallsai. An imitation of a real bonsai.

I'd try a necromancer.

I know what you ought to try! and it's not a necromancer

Thank you.

As you're such a keen gardener, you'll know that a brown juniper is a dead juniper.
