I just got a new Bonsai tree and I need help identifying the kind of tree it is . It has dark green shiny leaves and it just bloomed one tiny white flower.

Carmona?

Remove all that fake moss and re-pot it.

Thank you! What type of pot would be better for this tree? I'm new at this and want to do it right. Here's a pic of the pot it came in.

I hope you know that that Juniper belongs outdoors?

Yes I keep the juniper outside but I had to bring it on due to we have been having a lot of rain storms and I thought it might get damaged. I'm doing some research on the carmona . Thank you for the info I'm very grateful!

No. Junipers belong outside. Rain, Snow, thunder. Bringing it inside causes more damage than help. In fact, rain is natural; it needs rain. In terms of what pot for your Carmona, it depends on what you want to achieve. Do you want to try and convert the mallsai to a Bonsai? or do you want to keep it as a house plant?

Thank you for the information about the juniper, like I said I'm new at this and need all the advice I can receive. And yes I do want my Carmona to be a true Bonsai, I have been looking for pots to order because the town I live in is small and I doubt I could find one here. I'm just not sure the size of Bonsai pot it would need but I did remove the moss and I'm doing more research on repotting and styles.
