I have learned this the hard way. My first bonsai was a Jiniper and I loved it in my home office/studio, but over time I noticed it starting to yellow and it slowly died sadly. Now I'm on my 2nd bonsai tree and it's also a Juniper. Trying real hard to help this one thrive and be healthy and as much as I love to see it indoors, it seems he has to spend more time outside in the sun. Thanks for the great info!
You can always sit them on your window outside, lets you admire the view yet also gain the benefits of the outdoors for the bonsai. Has to have enough morning sun though!

@@CargoShorts7 I will say light is absolutely the first crucial element. The next is any Conifer hates to much water. I've killed a few when I first started.any years ago. Humidity, water, light. I use a blue LCD in summer and white in winter. But also set them up on a timer. You need them to go dormant in fall/winter. And don't mistake dormant for dead. Good luck sir. 😀
@@nhsledfreak Hey thanks for the advice! I know it's hard to describe in writing, but how much would you say is a good amount to water a Juniper bonsai? I never know how much is too much or too little and I think that's partially why my first tree died sadly.
@@CargoShorts7 I use a meter that measures H20, PH, light, temp. They are not expensive. Watering really depends on where you are, how big the Juniper is etc. Hence the meter my friend.
Thank you very much for this good information. I have overwatered mine and probably has root rot I will tip it over tomorrow and see. I live in Florida and the sun has just become so increasingly hot that I was giving it too much water. Will try again
Yes it tend to happen specially with this temperatures. But hope the tree makes it. If it doesn't seem to be too bad yet, jst leave it n shade and don't water until it really needs it. Good luck 😁
When watering if you have it in a pot you can your use fingers to check the soil if it's dry 1-2 inches down then you can water it just make sure the water drains out properly in between watering but don't let it dry out completely.
Ganhei de presente um bonsai de Araucaria angustifolia, arvore única do sul do Brasil. Ela estava com as pontas amarelas e em poucos dias consegui faze-la recuperar o seu brilho verde deixando ela no sol pleno. Obrigado pela dica!
And check the bark down low near the soil line, I've noticed the overwatering from the box stores (or the typical yoyo of underwatering/overwatering) I bought a batch of 6 on clearance and didn't check every single one annnnd of course I got a bad one. I made some good cuttings out of the top half where it was still green and the rot hadn't affected the whole tree yet so you don't have to just toss the whole thing out. And yep some cuttings took even some larger semi-hard almost hardwood cuttings but less than normal % but make the best of a bad situation.
Yessss that is definitely great advice , sometimes the tree will still have hope or things can still be done , this is definitely something that can be done . This will be a good idea to save as much as possible
Great video! I have a Monterey Cypress juniper that I just received, I put it in the sun with my other junipers and it didn’t like it. It started to lighten after 3 days and look dry from the bass to the top. Did I instantly kill my juniper in 3 days because of sun? I keep it watered and soil was never dry.
It really depends on how fast and how to it was. When a tree is not in the sun and you put it straight into full sun it will be affected , you might want to put it back on some filtered sun place like under a tree and slowly introduce it to full sun.
@@lifeofbonsai thank you! I did move it to my porch where it will get a little morning light till about 10am, then shade the rest of day. Still not looking good,, I may have shocked it real good and was too late to bring into shade.
thanks for the great video! Thankfully this helped me figure out the problem pretty early on. But I read in the Spring that you should fertilize your tree. What are the best fertilizers that you recommend?
Hi i am so glad and hope your tree does amazing 😁. I think depends but. Id go easy and use miracle gro liquid fertilizer jst go easy on it. Or osmocote
When I look stuff up all information is contradictory. I live in Florida so heat is what I worry about . Sometimes I see online people say direct sunlight but I think the extreme heat will kill it
Yes absolutely right. Really depends on your climate. Here in texas had been crazy hot. In this situation you definitely want to protect it from afternoon sun. Morning sun still goood. Or what i do is add a 30% shade cloth this way it still gets sunlight
Thanks for this video, i received a small one and it turned like this, i checked the roots and theyre dark dark brown and breaking off. Ill try to save it right now. It may be dead already, i wish i saw this before, because i kept it in a bright area in my place but it wasnt full sun :/ So you say in the winter it can stay outside, but i live in northern canada where it can go to -35celcius, heavy snow. I want to buy another one if i cant save this one; Should i keep it inside in the winter under growing lamps?
@@AlexLavoie-z8q I am so sorry this happened , I know how sad it can be , bit don't give up that is how we learn, I have lost many trees unfortunately , but yes you want to keep the tree outside all year round, if it gets too cold protect it by putting it in an un heater garage or room when temps are too low, you can also place it like in a cooler filled with leafs or something like that , the goal is to protect it from cold winds, in summer if is too hot put it under filtered sunlight
My juniper is yellowing from the inside leaves, not the tips. The tips and branches look vibrant green and healthy. Should I prune the inner leaves or let them naturally fall off?
Hello. So this is really really normal. All the upper growth will block light from entering the under growth of the tree this causing it to dry , you can definitely remove that inside browning . But i would suggest pruning the tree a little bit to allow more light to get through the inner part of the tree. Don't over prune
It seems I’ve killed my juniper over the winter by leaving it in a greenhouse. It fluctuates from 90’s in the day to 20’s at night, now I know not to put it in there. Thanks for the info
Thank you for watching glad it helped. If it ever drops too cold freezing cold . Protect it on a unheated garage or carboard or anything that protects it from wind
I think I did this too in the greenhouse!! I wonder if I pruned the foliage and roots too much at once straight from the nursery in autumn ..it stayed green through winter but now is almost all yellow...I will do the bark test. 😨
Quick question! Yesterday I checked the bark on my tree and it is very bright green (so I know it’s alive)! However, I’m not sure if it was under watering or the leaving inside (I have a small Juniper Bonsai), the outer and some inner part of the tree’s leaves began to turn yellow. Most of the inner part of the tree is still a goodish green, is there anything I can do for it to get back to all green? I’m slowly pruning any dead leafs and yellow bits that clearly don’t have hope. I’m aware that it’s detrimental to prune too much though so I know that much 👍🏽 (Note: I will have a picture of my bonsai tree as my profile picture)
So green under the bark is a good sign . Here is what i would do. First checm your watering , make sure to only water when it needs to be watered . I would bring it outside but in shade, don't let the sun hit it, and jst keep trimming the brown tips. Now here is something i do have to say, junipers tend to die from the tips down but jst keep trying , outside on shade and water only when it needs to be
@@lifeofbonsai should I bring it inside once it’s night? It’s usually 50 or les degrees at night where I’m at, not sure if that’s good for the bonsai or not.. Also when pruning/ trimming, where do I know where to cut exactly?
@@Jacob0782 no keep it outside regardless jst make sure it does not get direct sunlight, and you want to trim jst right at the edge were browning starts
If my tree is completely brown/tan when I scratch, is there anything I can do? It was given to me as a VERY important gift, and wasn't cared for adequately when we gave it to a friend when we were on a trip for a month.
Unfortunately if is all brown or tan and no greed it is dead. I know is sad. I lost my very first like that and didn't wanted to give up. So sorry about it
What about in the southern heat?! I put mine outdoors and it started browning a lot. I water daily when outside because it’s extremely hot, 100°+ I don’t want to kill it and there’s still a lot of green but….
The thing is that if it wasn't used to being outside in direct sunlight it will stress too much. Needs to slowly be introduced to sunlight , i would put it outside on a shaded area with jst morning sun. Water when needed only
I live in a city where it gets around 100 everyday sometimes over. Is that too hot for a juniper? I also believe I could be watering it to much while trying to compensate the heat.
So when heat is too much sometimes is better to add some type of sun filter for the tree still keeping it outside or protect it from afternoon sun if possible . It should be fine in direct sunlight but sun filter should help maybe around 30% filter. Also yes chefk your watering if it feels moist when inserting finger into soil then jst wait before watering . Really depends in your type of soil. Good luck ☺️
@@lifeofbonsai thanks so much. I believe it’s because I’m watering it too often. I’ll come back and give an update eventually so maybe this can help other people.
@@lifeofbonsai the good news it that I also had a hydrangea plant that was dying and I just assumed it was due to the heat but now I can see it is growing new green leaves again. Not to sure about the bonsai yet but I guess I will know in due time
Mine started like this and now sadly I think it's gone. I got it a little over a year ago and it's really hard to lose it, I'm so hoping I can find a way to revive it Edit: Did the scratch test and am sad to say it's dead 😔 Are the any recommendations for safe online sellers? There isn't much in the way locally for this type of thing and would love to try again
Yes unfortunately if the foliage is already yellowish there is no turnback. Just peel the bark and if there is still some green. Keep it under shaded area and water when needed only. Good luck
What if a good portion of the branches and tips are browning but I am seeing new growth other places? I thought they were dead/dying but then I saw the new growth. Is it still late you think?
This really depends on what you want your tree to look like and how it looks like at the moment . If you want it up right like a tree and yours still young you fan wire the tree and shape it like a little tree in nature and do some light pruning
@@lifeofbonsai it's been two weeks since i bought it and planted it in a pot (not a bonsai pot) a bigger one. And wired it to the shape i want it to look like.i was so scared because this is my first time doing bonsai and im 19. So is it okay to wire it now to get the shape that i wanted ? I wired it to the shape like S. And when do i need to remove the wire? Btw thank you for replying its really helpful ❤
@@Nemanthaheshara hello. Yes is a good time to wire now jst let it rest and water when needed . You want to check were thr wire is every few days you want to remove the wire if you start to notice that the wire is barely starting to bite into the wood. You don't want to have wire marks on the trunk . But you will enjoy the bonsai hobby ❤️
I live in Toronto, Canada and the air is very dry where I live. I felt like I was needing to water my juniper every day, I switched its soil and ever since I did that it started browning. I have cut off all the brown parts and changed the soil back to bonsai soil. It still has white cambium but not green.. do you think she still has a chance? 🥺
I think the mistake was to repot it. When did you change the soil ?. They don't do well with repot until right after winter . O would put it in the shade and don't mess with the roots anymore , water only when it really need it
What do I do if my trunk has white cambium but some branches are a vibrant green? Is my tree recoverable? It’s very hot here in Texas and I don’t think water my juniper two times a day is enough so I’ve moved it to a shaded area and have a wet rag on the soil.
I would still care for it and move it to a shady spot and hope for the best. Maybe there still a chance it can make it. Moving it to a shaded spot was a great option
It it completely brown?. Id put it in shade. When you switch a tree from indoor to outdoor it needs to be slowly , 1 hour of sun or less then increase little by little
So what should I do as someone who lives in the PNW and we get really wet fall, winter, springs. Is it going to get waterlogged while in pot in the open?
So really depends on your soil, does it have bonsai soil or regular potting soil? If your soil holds too much water i would cover it up or move to a place that doesn't get too much water . Under something like a table or something
It could handle it but you should protect it. Bury the pot in the ground , or keep the pot well covered with leafs or in a garage that is non heated to protect from cold breeze
Hello there 👋question, would it do harm to my juniper if sunlight is to strong outside and very hot like 110 degrees ? I live in a very dry desert in california
It should be fine as long as you check on the water. Keep it watered but also do not over water. Ot should be good also depending on the pot if the pot gets way too hot then some type of sun filter should help. A light filter
So I've had mine outside and initially was on my deck table, slightly shaded, was doing well, moved it to full sunlight and it browned...starting to die 😢 I am in Florida. Any tips? Second time this happened to me, first time, first one I had was indoor and moved to outdoor, is that the issue?
Is always great to help it aclimate little by little. If you change it too quick it can stress it also check your watering if you change it to a different temperature water needs to be checked often
Yes same happens here for me no sun during winter but it should still be OK and if your soil drains really good there shouldn't be an issue with too much rain😁
Im a beginner and made a mistake by trimming the leaves by scissors and i started to notice the yellowing of leaves… any i idea what should i do? Thanks
Hi really depends. Was it a juniper? Also how much did you trim off? Was it alot of trimming? And did were the scissors used on something else prior? Might of been contaminated
Hi really depends on your soil . You want to check for watering . Stick your finger in the soil about an inch deep or so and if is moist don't water if is a tad bit dry water
Greetings. Thanks! Well, My bonsai Timothy is currently not looking that good. After scraping it trunk, It’s lost its green, but it’s still hydrated and the scent of bark can be smelled. However, there are signs of green under its bark branches and many small buds . Do I still have hope? I wouldn’t like him to go. 😢.
Never lose hope. If you see a bit of signs of life keep caring for it. Put it on shaded area and water only when needed . No fertilizer or nothing . Good luck
Hi that is pretty much a dead part. Try lower on the trunk close to the soil and see if there is any green if red or brown unfortunately is gonne. Good luck

Yes unfortunately we all learn the hard way. My first tree was a juniper as well . Left it outside but i watered it too much it died
You can keep them inside with a grow light and you have to mist them so they don’t dry out. But I would recommend outdoors.
You can always sit them on your window outside, lets you admire the view yet also gain the benefits of the outdoors for the bonsai. Has to have enough morning sun though!
How long did it take for it to dry and die?
I have raised many Junipers inside my home. They can be inside trees. However it's not a beginner jump. Nebies should get a Ficus : )
Yes i think is really a matter of knowledge . And doing things right.

Is always great to help it aclimate little by little. If you change it too quick it can stress it also check your watering if you change it to a different temperature water needs to be checked often
Leaving it outdoors in wintertime won't give it sunlight and will give it too much water where I live...
Yes same happens here for me no sun during winter but it should still be OK and if your soil drains really good there shouldn't be an issue with too much rain😁
but if i have hot weather? everyone says that it has to be outside but in the summer wont it be too much?
They can handle it but. You can also add a shade filter maybe around 30% filter to help with this summer sun
Im a beginner and made a mistake by trimming the leaves by scissors and i started to notice the yellowing of leaves… any i idea what should i do? Thanks
Hi really depends. Was it a juniper? Also how much did you trim off? Was it alot of trimming? And did were the scissors used on something else prior? Might of been contaminated
@@lifeofbonsai hello. I trimmed a bit. I have a shimpaku juniper
So do you cut the brown branches and leave any that still have green leaves?
Yes that will help get better light tot the green ones
I lived in hawaii ,weather here is hot ,, how many time do I water my Juniper?
Hi really depends on your soil . You want to check for watering . Stick your finger in the soil about an inch deep or so and if is moist don't water if is a tad bit dry water
Greetings. Thanks!
Well, My bonsai Timothy is currently not looking that good. After scraping it trunk, It’s lost its green, but it’s still hydrated and the scent of bark can be smelled. However, there are signs of green under its bark branches and many small buds .
Do I still have hope? I wouldn’t like him to go. 😢.
Never lose hope. If you see a bit of signs of life keep caring for it. Put it on shaded area and water only when needed . No fertilizer or nothing . Good luck
Couldnt I put it in sphagnum moss and baby it for awhile?
You could add some but i wouldn't repot at this time of year in sphagnum moss
hello. what to do if the pine tree gets sunburn?
Hi i would suggest , putting it n a more shaded area. With only morning sun and keep it away from harsh sunlight
I tried the small cut test and it's red underneath.. what does that mean?
Hi that is pretty much a dead part. Try lower on the trunk close to the soil and see if there is any green if red or brown unfortunately is gonne. Good luck
I will now name my Juniper; ‘John Nipper’
i like it haha
What if the sun is too hot over 40 degrees C?
Hi so for this. You may want to do morning sun the put it in a shaded plave during the hot hours . You can also do a sun screen shade around 30%
Mine gets 8 ours direct sun light but it is 38 Celcius mine is due to sun burn
Yes i would keep it with some type of sun filter. Sometimes it can get too hot
Its 110 where im at tho.. can i still leave it outside?
Yes keep it always outside always . Again if sun is too strong put soke sun filter from Amazon around 30%. Even during winter it stays outside .
Juniper bugs
Damn I think mine is too far gone 😢😢😢
Oh no i am so sorry to hear that😔..but don't give up try again . Is parr of the learning process
