Strong, yellow tips all over plant?

Post by pbx »

I picked up a few conifers a few months back (No ID) and thought they were just a little undernourished. Ive been babying them since, but they still have very strong yellow tips.. Should i be concerned? or is this the plant?

I repotted into a large pot, pre made bonsai soil, and have seasoled once to give a boost, but nothing has changed.. Any recommendations? I have another one that has done the same and made no progress in the ends becoming green.

Many thanks.

I think you have bought one of the golden cultivars of juniper. There's quite a few of them available. There's also a golden cypress but that's an upright 'pencil pine' and yours is probably a bit too spreading and open for that one.
Anyway, looks quite normal for that type of plant so nothing to worry about unless you desperately wanted a green one.
