I think my bonsai is dying - Help!

17 years ago

I have a juniper tree and lately it looks like the branches are drying, getting a dark green, like they are about to die if not there already. Parts of the tree look healthy still but i don't know what it is.

I haven't changed my watering schedule, only difference is that I have a fan on in my room more lately due to extreme heat outside. Any suggestions?

I learned the hard way. Juniper can't live indoors. Mine died a couple of weeks ago. They require too much light. If the green parts are turning brown, it is probably too late. Gradually acclimate to outside and let it live outdoors.
