Juniper Bonsai Leaves Yellowing
Hi all! Trying my first bonsai with a juniper bonsai and started well. However the leaves have been getting more yellow recently compared to the deeper green it was. And it feels more brittle.
I currently have it inside on an east- facing window sill, but I'm considering moving it outside entirely. I live in a pretty warm area in NC so I just don't want the it to get burnt.
Any tips and suggestions for watering, sunlight, etc.? Anything helps.

Hello! I had one of these a few years ago, looked just like yours! Unfortunately though, I killed it 😭 but it could be under watered if the leaves feel dry, brittle, and are turning yellow- only if the soil is dry. If the soil is wet though and it looks that way, it could be root rot. When moving outside, I’d aim for morning or late afternoon sun only, I had mine out in full sun most of the day and it shriveled up and died, could have been to my lack of watering but you have to learn somehow I guess! I hope this helps! 🙏
