So I did my first stylizing and potting of a bonsai plant and I figured I had a normal size pot but the Juniper I had must have been in it's pot for many years because the root system reached the bottom of the planters box and it was thick. I feel like I had to cut almost 2/3's of the root system to barely fit it into the pot I had, is that too much to take off? I took the risk of doing it because I really had no option of getting another pot at that time of day.
I'm really over my head in whether this plant will survive because it's root system was so thick I could barely get any new soil into it and more kind of had to just pile around it. I just uploaded a photo, I had to wire it to the side of the pot to keep it from falling over and out of the pot. Not really super happy with the placement in the pot but I was struggling to secure it.
Do you think it will survive?
