I put a note on the bonsai that said “don’t forget to water me when I’m dry! :)” but you just know I’ll come back in a week and it will be like “Please. I can’t cry because I have no moisture. Please soak me, I can’t take it anymore.” and I’ll have to revive it.

It was a father’s day present, so it’s actually my dad’s, but he’s been sick all month and when my mom tried watering it she did it from above and started washing the soil away- so I’ve been taking care of the little guy. Despite my black thumb with most other plants, I have a strangely green one with specifically trees, so I’m hoping that until my dad gets better (which won’t be for a long while, based on his limp) I can keep this little juniper going strong.
