How to fertilize Garden 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 Garden Juniper after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Bonsai is brown I think my bonsai is dead. This is the first plant I've killed and I'm not sure if she's dead dead or I am able to save her? Thank you in advance! #JapaneseGardenJuniper #bonsai

So I've got this juniper bonsai. I've read it does best outside. however it's winter in the mountains, hardiness zone 6b I think. since he started off life inside, I don't want to shock his system by putting him out in the cold. #bonsai

Juniper Bonsai Needles stiff and brown So I truly believe this was overwatering followed instructions not realizing it was for daily outside which mine is inside. I removed all brown needles today. Will it regrow now that I’ve got the water back to normal confirmed using hygrometer etc. this was the original pic when I got it lost a lot since then. Hoping this fullness will return. Notes in info on plant. @Kiersten

It was nice and cool out this morning after a really intense hail storm last night, so I went out to take some nice pictures of my Bonsai tree, Hideo. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Bonsai #BonsaiTrees #Juniper #JapaneseGardenJuniper #SpringIntoSummer #PlantTherapy

Adding a few more of my trees to Greg. They have to be moved to the patio due to “habitat loss.” The apartment is considering tilling under the community gardens, and I don’t trust them not to destroy my plants… #BravelyBonsai
