Been awhile since I have posted but I purchased this Juniper about a year ago from lowes discount rack for $3.... I then did a half rootball cleaning and placed it in this cut down pot in nothing buy napa #8822 oil dry.
My questions are:
Should I change soil to traditional bonsai mix(Akadama, pumice, lava rock)?
How do you style a cascade(up till now it's been styling itself)?
What type pot should I use (cascade or semi cascade pot)? I have no clue about pot aesthetics and how they should be used in correspondence to the trees desires.
I really like the look of this tree and hope to have it for the rest of my life so I want to give it the best chance I can at an early age. It has been in direct sun for the last year and it gets over 120 here in the summer several times a year and will probably not see less than 110 degree days till the end of September. Any help or even a link in the right direction would be appreciated.
Here are some pics of what I have now
