    Think my juniper is sick (PICS)?

    Yes I keep it outside 24/7. You mean cover the soil just when and after spraying so the run off doesn't go info the soil? Or to protect from excessive rain? I went to a local shop and spoke with someone very knowledgeable, they told me to get some horticulture oil and it should take care of...

    Think my juniper is sick (PICS)?

    Think my juniper is sick (PICS)?

    Hi, I think my juniper is getting sick. The other week I noticed that the greenery looked kinda "dull" and the tips were slightly red looking. I wasnt sure if its due to the fact its now outside 24/7 and has full morning and afternoon sun (rooftop patio). Or if its due to the random weather...

    new juniper (Shimpaku) bonsai owner - few questions

    Thanks everyone. It's supposed to get to -3*c over the next few days overnight. I was thinking of wrapping the pot in a towel as I read somewhere. I could also put it my 2nd unheated bedroom (gets to about 10*c) at night by the windows but I'm afraid of bringing it inside when its been...

    new juniper (Shimpaku) bonsai owner - few questions

    Ok I put it back outside, it has not dipped below freezing, coldest this plant has seen this winter has probably been 3*c/37*f. Is this "freezeball" a bad thing, if its going to be an extremely cold night is it better to bring it in and leave in near a window in a unheated room for the...

    new juniper (Shimpaku) bonsai owner - few questions

    I have always loved bonsais and decided to get my first one by a well known bonsai shop. Its apparently about 12 years old. I live on the west coast of Canada (Vancouver Island) and I would really love to have it indoors sometimes. Now I was told I could train it to be indoors a few days a...
