I recently acquired a juniper bonsai and am taking my first steps in caring for it. Anyone else care for or have constructive ideas about these little guys?

Good thread.
I just received a bonsai tree from as an early present from a girl I know.
Of course, she didn't provide me with any sort of instructions or advice in caring for the damn thing.

If it isn't already in one, i'd recommend transplanting it into a Lavarock. There very pourous and will absorb water which keeps the trees moist. They also look cool w/ the tree.
