Last year I started in the bonsai world and bought a bonsai that couldn't do much because it was already styled. I really wanted to create my own bonsai, so there we go, 
A juniper straight from the nursery (I have a horrible photo when I bought it, but it was exactly like the one below on the left, how it looks like now on the right)
This project started 3 months ago, juniper arrived home on early December, sunny spot and watering just when needed(dry soil). Then, in January 17th, I started to work on it.
First of all, we will have a look at the bottom of the tree. we need to clean those branches coming up from the soil. Instead of taking the tree out of the pot, it's easier to cut the edges as much as you will need.
Is common to see branches coming up from the soil or roots going down. This trees have been transplanted from the floor, once in the pot, they add more soil, this is why.
We need to clean all this branches at the bottom part, don't get too high cleaning because we need to find the start of the trunk. It's time to get a a stick, or a fork and start scratching the soil from the top, we want to find the tree base and the main roots that should come out from there.
This part can take a while, I had to dig around 6-7 cm to find the base, the good thing about this, the tiny amount of soil left, didn't wanted to transplant but I will at the end.
This Juniperus didn't have many roots, the pot was really damaged to do any styling there and leave the tree in that cranky pot. I transplanted the juniper in a pot of its size and a mix of 70% Akadama + 20% volcanic rocks +10% common plant soil, this will help the soil to get dried faster and watered properly with no water stucks in the pot(bonsai pots have really big draining holes anyway).
The Juniperus transplanted and fixed to the pot with aluminum wire. The black wire is made of anodized aluminum to hold the trunk .
As I had to change the order of facts, the result will be the same. The juniper was put in the shadow but bright place for 2 weeks, watered till water comes out clean every time the soil gets dry.
Once I had a better idea how I will style this triple trunk juniper, I started pruning from the bottom of the tree, selecting the branches I would keep. I'm not gonna explain the procedure of which branches to cut or why, that's tones of information I can fill many posts, so stay tuned!
At first, I wanted to bend the big two branches as you can see, couldn't make it the way I thought, I tried something else. The Juniper had 3 trunks, keep them, cut them the way you want and make a jin at the end(peel it).
Many branches still to be selected, this is starting to look good. A little bit of wiring has been done aswell.
More wiring has been done and more pruning aswell, at the end of that day, with 8 meters of wire already this is how it looked like at 1st of February 2018.
A month has passed and the Juniperus tree looks like this
I will be so happy if you have reached this point! It's a wonderful experience to style a bonsai by yourself instead of just buying one!
What do you think about my Juniperus tree? ^^
