Sorry Nic,

By the time a Juniper starts turning brown it has usually been dead for
a few months. It should have been outdoors, in full sunlight. It should
also have been watered only when the soil was drying out.

If your friend was advised to keep it indoors, tell him to take it back
for a refund as the vendor was wrong.

Next time he should try an outdoor tree outdoors or an easy indoor
variety from a proper bonsai nursery or at least someone who knows
enough to advise correctly.

okay my roommate has a juniper bonsai tree and it is turning brown.
and i know that it should not be in direct sunlight. but i dont know
exactly how much water he should give it daily. also i am thinking
about getting a florescent light for it but i would like to know the
correct wavelengths for the tree or which bulb would be best. its not
a very big one, but should it be clipped regularly? need some quick
tips....thanks so much!

-nic
