Today I finally picked up my first bonsai tree which is a 7 year old Juniper (not sure the exact species) and it looks great! I have done a ton of research and it seems that the more I search, the more questions I have. Any advice on Juniper care helps a ton considering there isn't much of a community where I live. Some useful info to know might be that I live in a pretty mild climate with mild winters and hot summers. I have read that it is good to water the tree every two or three days when the soil gets dry. I still do not have a lot of information on fertilizer and winter care. I am not too concerned with pruning or wiring quite yet because I think I need to learn to keep the tree alive first. Since it is late October, I worry that with the cooler weather approaching, I will not properly prepare my tree. I have it set outside elevated about 3 feet underneath a patio on the south side of my house. The tree should get a few hours of direct sunlight a day from where it is at. I am not sure when it was last re-potted and I am worried it will die for any of the million reasons I have read about online. YouTube and articles definitely have me confused about placement outside in the winter and basic maintenance such as fertilizer/mulch are still a bit foreign to me as well. I know that there is a ton to learn and that planting is partially a trial and error, but any advice you guys could give would be fantastic. Its tough to come by people with experience here and I'm getting a little desperate.
