I have done alot of research on this problem especially with junipers. Best success comes from wetting the leaves often. Put in a good airy compost, soak it well then cover the top of the pot with cardboard or plastic or boards so when you are misting or watering to soak the leaves you are not soaking the soil. Do this often, even at night. Junipers get alot of their moisture through their foliage, especially at night when they can soak in more. In nature they soak in the nightime dew that forms and not so much from the soils as they generally come from dry soil areas. Check soil moisture every 4 to 5 days. Keep slightly moist but not wet. Hope this helps someone out there.

@@bonsaiheirloom you're very welcome. I had terrible luck with junipers which led me down a Google rabbit hole to try and find out what I was doing wrong as I had succeeded with most other species of trees. I came across the info on a forum discussing some problems with them. Don't remember what that was but I am happy to share some tips I know will possibly help others. I hate to see anyones trees die.

I hope you're able to save your tree. Thanks for using it to show how important it is that the roots don't stay dry. It will make a nice Bonsai, and if anyone can save it, you can! Best wishes

I have this exact problem with an eastern red cedar. I put a bunch of compost thinking I was giving the tree nutrients but it just dried up on me. Luckily there is still life, so I will take your knowledge and try to apply it. If you don't mind sharing, what do you do to care for a tree struggling from heat stress? I find that even my native trees are struggling in this 100+ degree weather.

Just to be argumentative…it is never the heat…it is the lack of water for a given temperature. My suggestion is to adjust your soil mix to retain water and still have space for air. :)

Will the the cuts need to be sealed to prevent water loss?

No, I usually don't seal my cuts because I want my trees to emulate nature. Also, trees in the wild are fine without their natural cuts being sealed. It will heal over.

Sure! Grow lamps are designed to provide spectrum at the optimum wavelengths that stimulates growth (Optical physics!). Many marijuana farms and organic vegetables are grown under grow lamps indoors.
