# Hey guys this is Genghis Khan, my new juniper. I just got him today…

_Posted by Jose Pena on 2025-10-13_

Hey guys this is Genghis Khan, my new juniper. I just got him today and repotted since it was in a very small wet and moisty plastic pot. I live in Arizona and this is my first time starting bonsai, does everything look good, any advice on how to wire better or when to cut and where ?

Do you recommend shaping it like that or the wiring ?
