# Hello. I'm very new to caring for plants. I just got this bonsai 6…

_Posted by J on 2024-11-06_

Hello. I'm very new to caring for plants. I just got this bonsai 6 weeks ago. It's starting to brown. I have it in the sunny window 6/8 hours a day and watering/fertilizing it according to the Planta schedule. Any ideas on how do help it?

This inside browning looks to me like it’s hardening off but keeping it inside will be the death of this juniper. Most of the time and depending on your location you will want to keep this plant outside year round. I never bring mine inside. The environment inside our homes are to hostile for these to grow successfully

This is one of mine and it’s been outside for years. It needs to feel the changing seasons and lots of sun
