Re: [ID] please
Hi Ima and welcome. There is a topic on attaching photos in the Bonsai cafe. Most times the problem is the file is too large and needs to be resized.

If you either upload your pics to your gallery, or to photobucket.com you can just get the code and add it into your post and the pics will appear

Read also what it says in The Menu, on the Board Index. It was created especially for newbies.

Under the Save Preview and Submit buttons on the left hand side is Upload attachment button next to Options. Click on that then browse for your photo and open it and then upload it. The file has to be under 2 mb. Try that and see how you go.

Well it's a juniper - an expert can you what type and how to feed it. Bonsai are minature trees so they need to be outside like other larger trees. You can bring it inside for a day or two to admire but it otherwise it must live outdoors.

Lots of different opinions on watering. I just overhead water most of the time but if one is a bit drier than usual I dunk the whole thing in a bucket of water for a few minutes. Some of my trees get this treatment for all watering.

Well you can do that - or just water it with a hose or watering can until water comes out the drain holes. Then only water it again when you stick your finger in the mix and it is just starting to dry out. If the pot dries out for too long the tree will die and also too wet will rot the roots. It is something you will get used to and wont always have to get your finger dirty as you are more experienced
You need to check the mix as the tree will require more watering in summer and less in winter and is also dependent on where it is situated. Junipers need plenty of sun but maybe protect it from the hottest sun at midday, as this will dry the pot out very quickly. My guess is it's a Sargents but I am shocking with juni's.
