Hi everyone,
currently living in South Florida and needless to say this climate is completely different from the North East.
I just picked up a new Juniper from Wal Mart ( I know blasphemy). I want to get myself used to the climate and what I need to do before investing in real Bonsai trees.
I have been in Bonsai for a few short years and consider myself a beginner. Don't get me wrong I definitely know the basics and I know about plants/trees in general.
I've attached pictures and would like insight from you guys on what you think the condition of this tree is and what I may need to do. There was some browning. It was planted in a coffee mug sized pot with soil and large pieces of pine bark.......so I know that may be the cause.
I replanted it just a few days ago (2 days after buying it) in the pot in the picture with Japanese soil.
What do you guys think? Is it healthy? Anything that I may need to keep an eye out for?
My biggest concern is getting MYSELF used to the watering here. It's hot real hot here. Currently days are in the 80's and night around 68. The tree is outside at all times. At night under and open air patio to protect from the wind, b/c this month and next are very windy here. Add the strong sun, well we all know what happens....
Any advice on what I should do (especially from someone down here) would be greatly appreciated!
