The two trees (junipers) on either side of the photo are dead. Junipers cannot be kept indoors and excessive watering (like every day) contributes to their problems indoors and accelerates their demise. Misting also contributes to their problems indoors, as it can foster fungal growth inside where there is little air movement.

Junipers need to be outside. Get them out as soon as possible into an place outside that gets about six hours of sun. Make sure they stay watered adequately, but not soggy. Watering requirements will vary day to day. Windy days with sun could require twice daily watering. On cloudy cooler days, they may not need water at all...
