It's not.
In doing bonsai, we wait for the Spring to repot and to sort the new buds, and fertilize with a high N; wait for the Summer to prune back, unwire and decandle; wait for the Fall to apply 0:10:10 ferts and repot Quinces; wait for the winter to sow seeds, collect yamadori, wire deciduous and pines, and hard prune our trees.
As for style, one can wait between 5 to 10 years for a bonsai to mature; and wisterias only flower after 10-12 years, jaboticabas usually will fruit after 12-15 years.
Yes, it is a waiting game.
Patience.

You think that is hard? Make a batch of mead and wait a year. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wait until you learn how most people here have been working on a plant for 5 or 6 years and plan to keep doing so for equally long before even considering moving it to a bonsai pot... :silly:

I'm like a dog with a treat, being trained not to eat it until my trainer says so.

Very few of us got a first tree, set it outside, and waited five years to do anything with it. Very few. Right now in the northern hemisphere is not the right time to do much besides water and fertilize so do that now. As you water, think about what you think the tree wants to be. What pot would match that? What size, shape, and color? When you put a tree in a small bonsai pot it will pretty much stop thickening the trunk, so if it isn't thick enough next spring, think about waiting another year. Get another tree. Repeat.

As the newbie that I am, I got a pot and a few pounds of soil mix thinking I could do this right away. :silly:
I don't even know what specific juniper I got. I know it's not nana but can somebody please help identify it for me so I could know more about my tree?

Go ahead and put it in the pot next winter. The tree might improve if you wait, and it it quite likely that twenty years from now you will look at it and catalog all the things you would do differently then. But, this is now. That's fine. We all had a first tree.

Read up on how to pot it, get the things you need like some kind of screen for the drain hole, etc. All that will be in the How-To section on the web site here and on other sites.
Good luck.

Oh trust me, I got all the materials ready. Thank you!
