Is it to late to repot a Juniper Squamata??

Post by Josh »

As the heading says, I had a juni I was going to put into a bonsai pot but missed it with being busy with work ect. Is it to late to pot it up now?? It has really powered on the last couple of weeks. I'm happy to leave till next season if that would be best, it would teach me patients...maybe :whistle:

Thanks in advance

Fire away Josh, but as Bodhi has cautioned, don't be too ambitious.

And remember to provide good aftercare.

Cheers,
Mojo
