I recently got this lil guy and I was wondering how I could fix the tilt it’s not in this photo but I pruned him because he was a bit messy

I believe it’s intentionally leaning as Juniper bonsai is frequently styled in a cascading form known as Kengai.

You might be able to train it into a more upright form but I’m not ultra experienced in this area just yet.

I bought a leaning juniper 2 years ago, and I’m just letting it go that way. I’m going to eventually do a full cascade down, as long as the little guy survives being dormant over the winter. 😅

This appears to be a procumbens nana Juniper. To fix the angle you would do that at repotting time. Work the roots and pot at the level desired.
