I recently acquired this Juniper and I have a few concerns about it that I am still trying to figure out (been working with bonsai off and on for years and never took it seriously until now).
First, I can't quite determine what kind of Juniper it is but I think it is a Juniperus procumbens nana. From experience (unfortunately) as well as everything I've read and heard, they don't live indoors (at least not for long) but I have some major concerns.
The next couple months outdoors will be fine as it likely won't get into the high 90's too often, but come April our temperatures will begin reaching the 100's and then in mid summer we are up to 120 and VERY VERY DRY year round (ironically as I write this post it's raining, go figure).
Second, with this dry climate I am concerned about over watering and under-watering. Even in the first two days that it has been with me, the soil has remained moist but around the trunk the smaller roots are beginning to come up and dry. They move a lot throughout the day.
Any help is greatly appreciated on the indoor/outdoor/temperature/dryness/watering for my particular situation in the desert. I don't want to let this one get away.
You all are awesome!
Cheers!
