Japanese Juniper

Mizukuro

I have a Japanese Juniper and i was wondering what I should do with it when its winter. I leave in Canada and the winters here can go down to -35 degrees celsius, so i wasn't too sure what to do with my tree. Can someone suggest something? Also, it seems that while i was gone on vacation my bonsai tree received too much water due to rain, is there some way i can help it get healthier again?

Junipers are a hardy plant and will easily suvrive Canadian winters.
For mine , I just mulch them into the ground when it starts getting colder out.

For the overwatering problem, just monitor them and ensure that you do not continue to overwater them. In the recent heat waves everyone has been getting it,won't take the plant long to use up any excess that may be in the pot now.

For more specific information, please update your profile with your location, as it allows people to be more specific. Canada covers a wide variety of growing zones, and information for one area may not be applicable to another.

Along with this site which can be a super source of information and inspiration, I would suggest joining a club because that makes the learning curve a lot easier. (You could ask at Bonsaicanada.com about clubs in your area and a more Canadian-centric approach )

You can tilt the pot for a few days and it will drain faster.
