Juniper Bonsai- taking care indoor was created by mattkozz2

Posted 3 weeks 4 days ago #87568
Hi everyone!

I recently got a bonsai tree to take care of, unfortunately it got to me after a month of not the best care, so it has been a rocky start.
I had it for couple weeks, and it seems to be getting worse, despite trying to give it a lot of light (in my unit, a direct sunlight is only available for 2-3hrs in the morning). Outside of that I am trying to add in SANSI Grow Lights so it can get more light throughout the day.

Any suggestion and comments on how is it doing?

You picked the wrong species :) Junipers can not be kept indoors.

The best thing you can do is to start reading up on bonsai. Once you know what it is all about, get a couple of trees that suits your climate and grow them outdoors. This one is dead, but it teaches a lesson. Just a few quick web searches on the tree species before buying saves you money and bad experiences.

Is there a way to save it if it's moved outdoors, like balcony? Or a full garden is needed?

It wasn't purchased, just inherited because it was left in an old office, trying to save it.
