Hello again
?
?I have a second tree but this looks much harder to turn into a bonsai as its hard to isolate the main truck.
?
?Do you have any ideas of what style I can go for?
?
?Or is this plant not suitable?
?
?Thanks again and have a great day!
?

Hey Martin, Welcome to the Empire.
This looks like a Juniperus Procumbens, and yes, they are really suitable for 名媛直播, yours seems to have a lot of green mass on the bottom, that's good...
If you just bought it, I would advise not to worry about styling for a while... Take a time to adapt the tree, and yourself to the tree (watering etc), and also to think about the shape you want for it... It's really difficult to anyone to tell you how to style it not having access to the actual tree... Do some research about the species, watch some videos and progressions with it.
And remember to keep it outside.

Procumbens in Thailand!!??
I was under the impression that Procumbens needs a firm winter rest or it will die. Sorry to come with bad news.
My suggestion is not to do any work on it whatsoever until you know for sure the species can grow healthy in your part of the world. That may take 2 or 3 years. Just learn how to take care of it in best possible way.

Wow, you know I didn't realize he's from Thailand, nor that the winter there is so hot...
How did the nursery you got it from managed to thrive it so well?
Did you buy it from local?

Many thanks for your reply. Very helpful.
The great thing here is the plants are so cheap but I don't speak Thai so have no idea what I'm buying. So the plant identification is very helpful. This plant was less than US$3.
I bought locally from my favourite nursery and the plant was thriving in full sun.
We don't really have seasons here. Just 2 periods, very hot and extremely hot with some rain hopefully.
It's officially going into winter now and today it's 31C dropping to 26C tonight.
It gets a little cooler in the North (Chang Mai etc) but we are based in Central Thailand (Phetchaburi.)
In April / May time it's much hotter and drier so plants have to be very resilient here. Sometime we have no rain for 6 months or more.
One night it went down to 19C and all the Thai people were wearing hats, gloves and coats, quite comical!
So much to learn so appreciate your feedback.
Stay safe and have a great day!

Don't worry too much. Your local nurserie knows what grows there. Unless this is a recent import (Which makes no sense) your tree should be fine. The procumbens is accepting of a VERY wide range of climates, and I am not surprised you get them there.
