Miniature Shimpaku Juniper Bonsai Itoigawa Shimpaku The trunk exhibits varied and graceful curves, with prominent *sharad* (deadwood) features. Repotted into a small pot approximately 1 year ago. The root system is stable and healthy. The foliage is also in good condition. It is currently in a phase of vigorous growth. Fresh substrate was used during the repotting. With proper care, it will not require repotting for 3-5 years. Conifers, like junipers, thrive in sunlight. Insufficient light will impact their health. It is recommended to place them in a location with at least half a day of sun, with full sun being even better. Watering: Shimpaku junipers prefer a distinct wet-dry cycle. As Akadama soil is used, its color can indicate the soil's dryness. When the soil color lightens, it signifies dryness. If only the surface soil is dry, watering is not yet necessary. Wait until at least half of the soil in the pot is dry before watering. Conifers are relatively drought-tolerant, differing slightly from common flowering, fruiting, evergreen, or deciduous trees. Water thoroughly when watering. Ensure water drains from the bottom of the pot to confirm thorough watering. This step can be repeated twice. Summer Care for Miniature Bonsai Watering Precautions—During high temperatures and heat, water inside hoses can become hot due to sun exposure. Please check the water temperature before watering to avoid using scalding water. Water thoroughly to moisten the soil and ensure the pot cools down. Warm water can cause severe damage to the root system.
