I'm new to the art of Bonsai, and I picked up a Mallsai - before I knew what a Mallsai was. It's of the Juniper variety . . . It's been living outside, it's been fertilized, and its watered on a regular basis (from the bottom). Slowly, but surely the little guy is slipping away. I've only had the tree for a little over a week. Please help me save my tree!! THANK YOU!

It's okay, you're not alone. Now first, stop fertilizing. Next, is there a bunch of glued-on gravel on top of the soil surface? Is there a price tag covering the drainage hole? Did it come with a spill tray? Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!

Be careful because the plants need to be CHECKED regularly but only watered as needed. Watering regularly is a good way to get into problems. Also, keep it off the hot pavement and away from reflected heat (like asphalt, concrete, masonry). Full sun is okay for juniper in most areas but diffuse light ("open shade") is usually more forgiving for a broader variety of plants, conditions and mistakes.
