Any help or guidance would be helpful.Hello i recently got a Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper as a gift for my office desk. its been about a week since its been placed in a bigger pot but the leaves are losing their green coloring and the inside of the leaves are turning white in color. Ive been using a UV light that ive been using to grow a cactus i lightly mist 2 times a day and water soil as needed. not sure if the change is due to the re potting or is the tree is sick. i have done the scratch test and it is still green under the bark.

Hello.

Well, part may be a reaction of the repotting, but surely part of the problem is being kept indoors...

Quote:
Placement : Place the tree outside, year-round, in a bright location with lots of sunlight. The Juniper cannot live indoors. During the winter protect the tree once temperatures drop below 15 °F (-10 °C).

Hello! I am new here so I am not sure if I have anything to contribute to this particular thread except that once I put my junipers outside they did a lot better. That said, several of mine have been turning grey and parts have been getting "crispy" and falling off. I water regularly when the soil is dry to the touch and they are placed in full sun; I live in growing zone 7b mid Atlantic as a reference. any thoughts as to if this is fungus related or blight? no spider mites. Thank you so much for any advice!
