Hello everyone. my neighbor bought me a Bonsai tree yesterday because i've always wanted one. only problem is i am not sure how to care for one. So I have a few questions. 
1. what type of tree did she buy me?
2. should i re-pot it with new soil since i dont know how long its been in there
3. about how old do you think it is
4. how should I water it, and take care of basic needs it might have.
thank you everyone. looking forward to being a bonsai owner for a very long time!

Make sure you keep this outside. All The Time. Otherwise it will die. Junipers do not like constantly wet roots. Make sure the substrate dries out a bit between watering.
Read up on bonsai if you want to grow bonsai. At the moment this is a young juniper that ddoes not qualify as a bonsai yet.
