First tip would be to learn what bonsai is and what good starter material looks like.
What you have are young plants.

I know what bonsai means. I have a pretty good understanding.

Very good. So, you know your juniper is not a bonsai but a young cutting in a pot and that it belongs outdoors. The other two plants are just young plants that should not be sold under the label 'bonsai' either.

if you put it in a grower pot an allowed the trunk to thicken it it could make a good semi cascade with the right styling...

Personally, I breed guppies and ornamental shrimp in the off months of the gardening year.
Also has the advantage of providing me with an abundance of dechlorinated nitrate-rich water.

Do you use plastic wrap to help hold moisture in? The mallsai junipers I'm experimenting on seem to like having a sheet draped loosely over them. My apartment is fairly humid from the tanks, but not quite humid enough without further artifice.
