1:11 If Juniper is unable to store water 💦, can we place gelantine-water crystals & slow-release fertilizer into the soil to assist this?

[@bonsaiempire]

I've never tried - but you want to make sure the soil isnt wet because the Juniper dislikes that. So instead of figuring out some tricks with the soil, I recommend to learn how to water it correctly using the inorganic soil mixture we recommend (mixing lava, pumice and akadama).

@@bonsaiempire Thanks. Maybe I will also experiment with water-gel crystals. They are being used in growing plants in deserts. I will also try slow-release fertilisers

Literally every answer he gives is to go to his guidelines on his course. Literally useless video

[@donncha-fv7ne]

He gave enough help for me

[@sethw.petersen5038]

I tend to agree. Bonsai Empire is pretty useless for care videos. Just vague "it could be" answers don't really help.
