These have to be watered very frequently. Give it a good drink and check it everyday to see if it needs watered.

Needs to be placed in the sun if possible !  
Using a water meter to check the dryness can help a lot

Does artificial light help with browning

The brown tips on the juniper may cause from cutting it with scissors. You need to pinch off the growth not cut. That applies to Juniper.
