Hi everyone,
I have been trying to take care of an ~5year old Juniper I got from a nursery, for approximately 6 months. At the beginning i kept it indoors in a very well light corner (windows on three sides and plenty of light through the day). About two months ago i started noticing one of the lower branches began to show yellowing and drying needles. I researched a bit, and it was suggested i kept it outside for the winter to allow it to go into its dormant state. We have been having some unsual winter conditions in Texas, and its been hard to keep a steady watering cycle, so instead i look at the soil and if the top 1cm of soil is dry I water it. We have been having very misty cold morning and some very hot days. The tree is under an awning that allows plenty of direct sunlight in the morning (facing east) and early afternoon, as the day progresses the tree gets less light. Since i moved the tree outside, the yellowing slowed down and it seemed to be contained to one branch, however about three weeks ago i noticed other parts of the tree started showing yellowing/driying needles.
Can anyone help on how to stop it from dying or what i should do to make sure it is healthy?
I have attached an image showing the drying branch.
Thank you very much for your help!

The problem about keeping it inside isn't the sun it's the air conditions. The air in your house must pass by a ventilation system (heating, cooling) wich dries the air and it isnt suitable for trees. You sould keep it outside during the day and if there is a risk of frost durring night-time, keep it in a unheated shed or garage. Most of the time a brown juniper is a dead juniper though but i'd give it a try.

Junipers tolerate frost. There's no need to move them to a shed or garage - except maybe when it gets exceptionally cold.
This juniper has been inside however, it shouldn't be moved outside directly, if it's very cold.

I cannot clearly see. Do note that the needles at some point get old, and old needles die off. Naturallly, starting from the inside, to the outside. Is it possible this is happening?

Don't they still need protection from frost since the root are not that deep? I think it needs protection when it gets to minus 10 celcius.

Mine survived 2 weeks of -20 nights here just fine a few weeks ago. But not all junipers are the same.

The dying needles seemed to die from the outside to the inside of the branch. The other places i have seen the drying needles do seem to be from the inside.

it is not very cold outside, so i dont think frost would be a problem. I believe the coldest we have been this year was ~0 C (32 F) and this was before i moved the tree outside.

It's just about spring, if the branch doesn't regrow, even if it does re-sprout. I think it would make so nice jin.

Your tree shows promise, it might just be one of those million dollars some day.
