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

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

Malnourished juniper bonsai tree Help! My little Bonsai was indoors until I learned they prefer it outside. I’ve since relocated her outdoors to hopefully help revive her. I also was not watering her enough, so I’m working on rectifying that. Should I remove the decorative rocks that were placed there by the store? I feel like it’s preventing her from getting the hydration she needs as the water has to seep through the rocks. I have learned that she needs to be fertilized regularly in the summer. I got 4 6 6, but I’m reading she needs 6 6 6 in the summer and 10 6 6 in the spring. Do I need all 3? Should I be getting her 6 6 6 for the remainder of summer? How often should I be fertilizing her? My poor cutie. I want to save her, she’s my first Bonsai! Picture of her current state down below. #Bonsai #NewPlantMom #JapaneseGardenJuniper

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

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

Advice to taking care of this bonsai Sooo the last bonsai we think is on it'd last legs... I tried everything with it. Reporting it and all. There is like the smallest new needles on it. On 5he under side. So in saying that, we got a new one. I would love some advice.. since this isn't my first bonsai tree. But never had a needle juniper before. We did get it from Walmart and I did repot it right away. #japanesegardenjuniper #bonsaitrees
