Bonsai World - JunisteemCreated with Sketch.

JUNI

A couple of friends visited India for a couple of weeks and brought me this souvenir. It went straight to my juniper bonsai. I don't know the significance of this item so if anyone knows please let me know, I'd appreciate it :)

I like to change the placement of this little elephant. For the time being the top of Juni will be its home. Juni needs some pruning but I'll wait until spring begins.

Thank you for reading!

Your juniper looks much better than mine. One of my friends visited India and gave me an ivory carved elephant souvenir. They are a part of the culture, and the religions there.

Thank you so much @creativetruth! Do you have a post where I can see your juniper?

I wasn't that off about the elephant then, thanks again:)

Nothing recent, but I have an old post somewhere from this past summer.

In a month or so I should be able to do an update, when the weather warms up.

Thanks for your interest. Juniper is a hard one for me to grow in a pot. I recently learned they do not do well with akadama clay in the soil.

I'll check it out so I can see the progress when you upload the new post. At the moment I have mine in the same soil it had when I bought it in nursery. When I repot it I'll probably use a mixture of its current soil and perlite. Do you think it's a good idea?

Maybe. I have been using the same mix for about four years in all my bonsai. Lava rock, granite, pumice, clay. Drainage is more important than moisture retention for juniper.

I need to buy more types of soil lol
