The Full Picture
The number one cause of death for Juniper bonsai is being kept indoors on a coffee table. Junipers are hardy, outdoor coniferous trees. They require full sun, wind, and the freezing temperatures of winter dormancy to survive. If kept indoors, they will slowly die over a few months, turning brittle and brown. Keep it on your terrace, water it thoroughly, and only bring it inside for display for 2-3 days max.
