[IBC] Juniper in Trouble?
I have a Juniper Procumbens "nana" that I potted and began styling last
March. All went well throughout the summer, until about two month ago when I noticed dieback on several branches. The tip growth on these branches is green and lush, but the growth is brown from there back. I have not fertilized his plant since I initially potted it. -- John Brengle ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Boon Manakitivipart++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Are you still getting new growth at this time of year? Watch your watering. The most common cause of death for J.p. nana bonsai is root rot from overwatering, and overwatering is easier this time of year than any other, as the plant stays green but really goes into slow-down mode, and even dormancy in really cold areas. Water as soon as the soil feels dry. Don't water if there is ANY dampness. Hard to tell if the tree is in trouble without seeing and touching it. Dead junipers -feel- dry and prickly. Live ones feel prickly, but are softer/smoother feeling.

Check to see if it is spider mites. My junipers get hit pretty hard every
year all year, except for when winter is in full swing. Get a sheet of computer paper under the branch and shake the branch a little. If they're there you'll see them. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Boon Manakitivipart++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
