Itoigawa Shimpaku Bonsai, Handmade Pot, Shimpaku Bonsai, Miniature Juniper Bonsai

【Pot and Soil】 Currently paired with a handmade pot. The growing medium is Akadama soil. With proper care, repotting will not be necessary for at least 5 years. This is one of the advantages of cultivating coniferous species. 【Care Instructions】 Shimpaku junipers require ample sunlight. A location with full sun exposure is ideal. Otherwise, at least half a day of sun is necessary. Watering: Shimpaku junipers prefer distinct wet-dry cycles. As Akadama soil is used, you can judge the soil's dryness by its color. When the soil color lightens, it indicates dryness. If only the surface soil is dry, watering is not yet needed. Wait until at least half of the soil in the pot is dry before watering. Coniferous plants are relatively drought-tolerant, differing slightly from typical flowering, fruiting, evergreen, or deciduous trees. **Water thoroughly when watering.** Ensure water drains from the bottom of the pot; this indicates thorough watering. This step can be repeated twice.
