What species of plant

#### Daril replied on 2024-05-13

Juniper

### Trevor commented on 2024-05-13

A juniper needs to live outside. During winter it needs to go into dormancy temperatures under 5\*C until spring. How long has it been inside

#### Daril replied on 2024-05-13

Since I got it about a 6 months ago.

How much do you water? If it’s in a “rocky soil” it might need to be watered daily have you fertilized?

#### Daril replied on 2024-05-13

It is rocky soil and watered every 4 days. I have also fertilized it.

### Trevor commented on 2024-05-13

Sounds like it might be under watered but that is only a guess

### Daril commented on 2024-05-13

It’s almost all yellow. Is it possible to save?
