Seedlings need some water to survive.
Enough to keep the soil always moist, not wet.
If the soil gets dry, the small roots die.

Crying? How would that help. Also... if you're going to cry over a seedling, you maybe should not try and do bonsai. I've lost many plants and I'm loosing one that I've been working on since 2001. It goes with the hobby, loosing trees, especially for beginners, is inevitable.

Don't stress the seedling even more by changing the soil Also, don't treat it like a little puppy and put it closer to the heater. Trees belong outdoors. There are no heaters there.

The soil looks wet. You may be overwatering.

My did that in the beginning especially after watering it, so I just used a waterspray to have better control on how much water I put in. Now it looks like this :)

I?m sorry for that... I?ve seen that Juniper around here and it was just amazing. I tend to think that Junipers are harder to take care of than most of the people think or are aware of. Same thought goes for conifers in general... I?ve already killed a Cryptomeria and a Mugo Pine and for several reasons I?ve had worst results with conifers than with the rest of non-conifer species (Although, so far a couple of Acers and a Pyracantha have gone down the road too).
