Juniper Bonsai Yellowing After Repotting: Stress Recovery

Juniper bonsai repotted 3× in 3 months (knocked over, volunteer seedlings). Root pruned last time. Yellow patches on foliage; partial sun; windy porch; cool spell.

Assessment

• Repotting stress + root pruning = temporary yellowing.
• Junipers tough; will replace needles if alive.
• Do not move indoors—needs outdoor conditions.

Care

1. Partial sun (morning) is good.
2. Water when top 1/2 in. dry; wind increases need.
3. No fertilizer for 4–6 weeks.
4. Protect from extreme wind (windbreak).

Yellow areas will be shed; new green growth emerges. Patience.
