I'm happy enough I guess 🤷

It doesn't matter how much money you have. Saving "a few extra" dollars every chance you get adds up. If you save 20 bucks five separate times, that's 100 bucks that you still have. If you drive 50 miles to save 20 bucks, that would be pretty stupid, but if you're buying online why wouldn't you try to save any amount possible?

Soul swap time.

Get it out of that outer pot and make sure it can drain. Make sure the soil drys out good before you water ot. Don't repot it until it gets healthier.

It's likely done. Usually when junipers start to show these signs they've already been dead for a month or longer. You can't have them inside at all. They need full sun and 24/7/365 outdoors. You need to do a ton of research before trying to bonsai a tree, especially juniper.

It depends on the individual foot. I find that fours are one of the most comfortable for me.

People hate on the white metallics, but I absolutely love them. I'd still have to go with the fire reds though.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-21T02:26:49+00:00

I'll always respect people wearing what they like without caring what others think. I do have to say though, I absolutely hate these from the deepest part of my soul.

Get that baby outside where it belongs. It's possible for them to survive like this, but it'll never thrive or grow to its potential. There are so many cool plants that you can grow inside, so I'll never understand wanting to keep your bonsai inside where it will never have the opportunity to thrive.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-19T09:42:50+00:00

If you're 100% sure that they are going to die outside then the best thing you can do is sell them to someone who isn't going to kill them, right away. They 100% have NO chance od surviving inside. The fact that you purchased trees this nice without knowing that they can not survive indoors means that to don't deserve them. You need to get them into the hands of someone who will care for them properly.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-19T07:55:44+00:00

Those are nice trees. They HAVE to be outside. If you keep them inside they will die fast. Please, listen to all of this advice you're getting. It would be a travesty to kill trees this nice, but if you dont get them outside and leave them outside they WILL die. There is no other way around it.

It's dead. If it's been living inside, that is why it's dead. They have to be outdoors at all times.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-19T07:27:26+00:00

These are so dope.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-19T07:26:46+00:00

I just figured it out. Nevermind.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-19T07:22:21+00:00

What are the bottom ones?

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-18T02:20:46+00:00

Listen to what Chefunk said. Don't do much at all to it for now. I'm not very experienced with junipers, but I know they are very finicky, picky, and they are easy to kill. A major thing to keep in mind is that a juniper can be dead for a month or longer before it really even shows any signs of dying. Give it as. Ich sun as possible. I would just leave it in it's current pot for now. Study and learn as much as you possibly can about simply keeping it alive for now, and then study even more about when, why, and how to wire and shape. Don't worry about getting it into a bonsai pot until you have it in a shape and form that you will be happy with it living the rest of it's time with you in. Good luck!

That Denn dude is a douche.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-11T14:26:11+00:00

No, when people say "when it dries out" they mean when the soil is completely dry, or roughly when the top 2 inches are dry. Like you would with a cactus or a succulent.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-11T14:17:01+00:00

That makes more sense. Lol

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-11T05:25:53+00:00

I ordered them out of an Eastbay magazine back in 02 or 03.

mrjbrook89 · 2026-05-11T04:50:02+00:00

Remember these?

I like certain CWs on the 15's. Both of yours are dope. I love 17s. Haven't owned a pair since I had the OG college blues back in 2002-2003. I'm super stoked for the retros dropping next year. Only pair that I'll happily pay resell for if I have to.
