How to fertilize Needle Juniper
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Needle Juniper after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can anybody tell me how to make these knobs on my bonsai tree go away or if they will kill it?

The foliage has turned light brown and hard to the touch. Has our Sargent Juniper died? #SargentJuniper

So let’s say I put 100x the amount fertilizer needed should I replace the soil so my bonsai doesn’t get sick or anything, it’s becoming brittle. #SargentJuniper

This pot is outside on my porch, I put it in another dish and insulted with soil to keep the clay pot from freezing the roots. Should I still be watering once a week in the colder months? #SargentJuniper

Bonsai I can’t help the plant. How do it do it? I got different apps calling it different things. I bought it from Little Tokyo in California from a lady that only told me 30$ and water daily. I don’t believe that because this thing is drying out even with daily water. It moved from California to Texas.

Is this bug or something else Is this a bug or disease?

Here’s an update on my new #Bonsai journey. I did a bit more pruning and refined the wire work. I’m happy with the progress, which is quite slow but steady… my #Juniper has handled it like a champ, still strong and growing! Any bonsai tips are very welcome 🙂 Ps: also as you can see I’m also working on a Jade Bonsai

Heyyy! So i recently bought this #AmericanJuniper as a Pre-Bonsai😁 Its my first time attempting this, I’ve done my research on the topic, but well you know, it’s still a first time. As you can see in the pictures I have part of the wire-work done, also did some trimming (although not so drastic). We’ll see how it turns out! Patiences I guess. I’ll be posting updates along the way🙂 #Bonsai

Losing some needle bunches when shaken. Is this a sign I’m under watering it? Does it need nutrients? What nutrient mix should I obtain and use if yes? Please help! #BlueStarJuniper

Is my plant dying? #AmericanJuniper hello this is my first bonsai plant and I’m afraid my plant is dying, some of the leaves or soft and some become super hard, to the point where if I touch them they break off. I water my plant every two weeks and mist leave when I see they look dry. I’m not sure if I’m doing this right. Any words of advise or am I just being a worry wort😁

Needle juniper very easy to maintain water every two week in the winter and it strives in low light. It’s very pretty.
