Slip potting is removing the plant/tree from it's existing container (in this case the fountain) and putting it in another like size container. The tricky part is you don't want to disturb the soil or roots much when you do it. If you can find a well draining pot that is very close to the same size as the pocket in which it currently resides, then I would slip pot it and get it outside. Does this make sense?
Yes it does. As we so speak I've put it in a unheated room about 35-40 degrees was originaly plannning on leaving it there till spring than keep mostly outside. Was thinking maybe I could leave outside in daytime and bring inside at night. Its a shame caus the tranquility of fountain and tree is just awesome. I guess it best to find a fiscus to put in there. I don't run it all the time and it self waters the soil very very slowely. Not sure what I'm gonna do
The people that make these type things want to draw you in and play on your emotions but make no considerations for the health of the plant. Junipers are an easy target because they look like a tree with very little pruning. They also can take several months to die off. That gives retailers the extra time that's needed to market the display. It happens all the time. When you find the appropriate size pot post again and we'll help you through the process. Keep in mind a slightly larger pot is better than a smaller pot. If you've had it for a month inside then time is of the essence.
EDIT: By the way, a bonsai pot is not even remotely necessary at this point.
Is there any specific soil and pot I should get for the juniper?
So ive been looking for a new bonsai I can replace in waterfall. Is bonsaiboy a reputable seller to get bonsais? They seem to have a good amount of bonsais? Here a few I was interested in for the fountain do you think anyone of these would be ok grown indoors in the top of the fountain replacing the juniper or any other bonsais that would be ok? Thanks for your help as always much appreciated
