Very pleased to show off a Juniper Squamata i got today not sure what im going to try at this stage

Junipers in nature are quite twisted. Maybe you could wire it?

Have a look on the net for some inspiration.

Yer i prob will wire it but might not move it into a training pot just yet

I would probably style it, leave it over winter and then repot at the start of spring

If I was you I would chuck this guy into a 10 or 12 inch plastic grow pot (no root pruning), add some fertilizer, chuck it in a sunny spot and let it grow for a year.

If left to their own devices squamatas grow like crazy. give it a little wiring to give it a little shape, in particular the main trunk where it comes out of the soil as this will thicken and stiffen the most in the coming year. Be sure to check the wire frequently to make sure it doesn't bight in.

Well I've kept this Juniper alive so far so that's a good start no idea where im taking it yet just going with the flow for now
