Hello Everyone, I was wondering if I can get some tips on taking care of my bonsai tree. I just got it gifted to me today. I have been told it is a juniper bonsai, it is about 4 years old. The last time it was watered was today. So any tips or advice would really help. Thank you :). I did put the bosnia in last night because it was raining really hard.
Take a look at the website bonsaiempire.com. It has some great advice on taking care and styling bonsai. Here’s the link to the Juniper guide bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/juniper Take care, PorkChop

I literally just joined this app since I got the same thing gifted to me today! LOL
You both have a juniper bonsai. From what I've learned they are outdoor plants and need plenty of sunlight, need pruning twice a year, and repotting once a year. I give mine about 10-15 Oz. of water daily and I've been told during the winter months to cut that down to every 2-3 days during their "dormancy/hibernation" period. Hope this helps!

Glad I read all this. That is much more water than planta was recommending and I caught it in time! I recently got one too.
