Is there a reason that you must keep it in the house? Junipers live outside.. they are trees... and you insult their egos if you make them into house plants
 Really, sunlight and breezes, cool nights and warm days are what the tree craves right now. That is what it needs to live. Morning sun, dappled afternoon shade would work wonders. Look for bugs... it's early for spider mites but if it has been in the house, it might have some. Spider mites can cause browning and sickly green colors. Search this forum for "spider mites". But don't treat the tree unless you find some. Joanie |

"...The humidity in the house...".
Oh Oh my friend..."...in the house..." is certain death for a juniper...well, almost certain death. Junipers are outdoor trees and rarely adapt to the cozy indoor life...if ever at all. "...in the house..." might be the total cause of your bonsai's demise... It is important, Divero, to learn about the care requiremens of your species...best if learned BEFORE you acquire it. Pat

It was a gift
I did noticed that two to three weeks ago a number of webs on the bush. I clean them off with my fingers and killed some kind of red bug (very small). Have not seen any more webs. I will try and put it out side for the next couple of days. What do I have to lose.
Thanks for your help. |

If you found webs and small red bugs, you have spider mites. So, outside... not just for a few days.
And you need to treat those bugs. They are difficult to eradicate. Search the forum for "spider mites" and see what remedies you can find.Joanie |

G'day Divro...
Try Carl's Soap Solution (follows). It has worked for me for spider mites... Follow Carl's instructions... Pat CARL’S SOAP SOLUTION! INGREDIENTS Water Dish Detergent Rubbing Alcohol Vegetable Oil DIRECTIONS Fill a gallon jug with water and add one (1) or two (2) tablespoons of dishwashing detergent and one (1) tablespoon of vegetable oil (or Neem oil). Shake up the gallon jug to mix the ingredients. Pour this solution from the gallon bottle into a spray bottle and just before using add 1 to 2 two caps full (from the rubbing alcohol bottle) of rubbing alcohol and spray immediately. If you do not use the full bottle of spray, the next time you are going to use the soap/alcohol solution add the same amount of rubbing alcohol again, since the alcohol will evaporate. You can store this soap/oil solution in the gallon jug for months on end. It does not seem to go bad. Spray on plants covering all leaf and stem surfaces. You may have to spray from three to four times with intervals of three days. This works for almost any kind of pest that attacks your trees, including scale. I do not wash off the spray and have seen no adverse reaction to the trees from this mixture. From Carl L. Rosner, 4/11/2007
