Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster.
I need some help ID'ing what is happening to my young Juniper Pro Nana. I brought this plant plant home from a local nursery about a month ago. Since then I have noticed some gradual yellowing of the plant and I'm not sure whats happening. Here are some additional details:
I've attached some photos. The first is the day after I got him. The rest are what he looks like today.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong here? Any recommendations for how I can make sure he doesn't regress too much more? Or am I being a bit paranoid? lol.
I need some help ID'ing what is happening to my young Juniper Pro Nana. I brought this plant plant home from a local nursery about a month ago. Since then I have noticed some gradual yellowing of the plant and I'm not sure whats happening. Here are some additional details:
- I'm in Southern CA zone 9b/10a.
- I fertilized the tree for the first time 2 weeks ago for the first time, very lightly.
- The nursery it was at has a 30%-ish shade over it, and it's new home in my backyard is full sun.
- We had some severe winds a few weeks ago for a night, and was hit by some light debris, but no apparent damage.
- I suspected I was overwatering it for the first few weeks, and I have since dialed back the watering schedule.
- The soil he came in is admittedly not the fastest draining. It has a little bit of inorganic material, but it holds moisture longer than I would like.
- No signs of root rot. I gently flipped him upside down the other day and slipped him out of the pot to examine his roots (without damaging the root ball). healthy looking roots and no smell.
