Re: Read This First!!!

I love growing things and received two beautiful Juniper bonsai from my husband about two months ago. One is clearly dying; its leaves are dry, brittle, and falling off if touched. The other seems to be okay. The plants came with few instructions on care. Nowhere in the instructions was it mentioned that Juniper bonsai should stay outside during the winter, in fact year-round. I live in Stamford, CT, and have been quite careful to keep both plants away from drafty cold areas--per the instructions. At this point, is there anyway to save the dying plant and to ensure that the other plant will not die? Is it harmful to place the plants in a drafty spot, for example, in front of a balcony door? Is it too late to place them outside? Should I repot? What book and/or video on bonsai would you recommend?

Thanks for any assistance.

Mary
