Hey Folks, just found this awesome website but I'm having trouble identifying my little tree. I looked through all the images I saw posted here. Looks like the pine/evergreen variety.... that's all I know

It's gotten really brittle lately and I'm worried it's not the healthiest. We have just gone into winter..... Been watering a little more lately but I want to know how to take care of it.

Any ideas?

It is a juniper. If you have been watering MORE lately, you must be keeping it indoors, which is why you have killed it.

If junipers turn brittle and dull, they typically have died.

The thing is that your little plant is little because it is very young. It can hardly be called a bonsai, that is trained to look like a real tree in miniature.
Such young trees can quickly be killed if you keep them in the wrong climate - like indoors (not that established bonsai junipers can be kept indoors, it will just take a while longer to kill 'm).

As LB said, while the foliage still looks green, if it is brittle, it's dead.

There weren't any instructions for climate when I bought it.

I suppose I'm going to try putting it outside, hoping that it's not completely dead?

Never buy a "bonsai" if you do not know the species, if the seller cannot tell you what the species is, and if they cannot give you proper guidelines how to care for it.

The problem is the change of environment will stress the plant even more. If all the foliage is brittle, it is already dead. No chance for revival.
If it is not completely dead yet, there is still some live foliage, chances are very low that it will survive. The damage has already been done.

I recommend this blog that tells you about many bonsai and where you can
