What kind of juniper is this? The needles feel soft. I received this tree from walmart for mothers day. Should i repot this tree into a new bonsai pot with new bonsai soil?

Keep the tree outside and let it dry in between watering.Stick a chop stick in the soil, if it comes out wet,don't water it. junipers don't like wet feet.As for re-potting it needs to be done in early spring just as new growth is starting to grow. does water drain quickly when watering? If so, it'll be fine until next year.

I put it outside 2 days after i got it. The water wants to run to the side a little and from what i read online i don't think it is bonsai soil. Do you think it would hurt it if i would re-pot it but not cut the roots. I did look at the side and the bottom of the pot, and i can see alot of root. I am very new to bonsai this is my first tree and i am trying my very best to keep it alive. Any help i can get would very appreciated.

If you feel there is a lot of root another way to check would be to simply pull the tree out of its pot with the soil intact, then you can have a closer inspection of the roots.

looks like a juniper communis(common juniper) it will be cool if it is cuz they get blue berries on them in the late summer/fall. it may also be a san jose juniper but the other is more likely
