Hey guys I'm fairly new to Bonsais and have had this one since May I personally think it's going alright but I don't know much Im watering it once a week at the moment because it's Winter or well Spring now first day today I repotted it from a smaller pot to this one in June.

Just basic feedback really and how long will it take to get a thicker trunk and what not I'm assuming years but yeah as I said I'm pretty uneducated in this area.

Thanks in advance.

It is the perfect example of how not to grow a bonsai.

Hi, Night, welcome!
Where are you located? Southern hemisphere I guess?
Your little juniper should be outside, in a bigger pot, and being watered not on a schedule, but when the souls feel dry to the touch.
Indoors it will die.

So a even bigger pot? I didn't wanna go too big just in case there was an issue with that? and what sort of pot should I move it too, we are just starting Spring now so would the current season stress it by re potting it?

I'm also located in Western Australia. and yeah its always outside and its in a spot where it gets sun and a bit of shade.

So water it when the soil gets dry on top?

I'll take all the tips I can get.
