I recently purchased 2 new bonsai, one being a Port Jackson and I forgot the name of the other. Can I have some advice for care?

Sorry to temper your enthousiasm but you didn’t buy two bonsai. You bought 2 very young plants that are decades away from being a bonsai, and first of all will die if you keep them inside...
Another tip: if you buy a plant, at least remember the name, how can you hope to care for it in the right way if you don’t even know it’s name?
Again, sry to be harsh but these are basics...

I knew that they were far from bonsai, reason being so young was because the more mature Port Jackson was $160 and it was money I did not have.

For now I would refrain from buying “ bonsai”. They are mostly overpriced and far from being bonsai.
What you should do is go to your local mom and pop nursery and look for some decently priced plants ( look in the reduced price section) and buy something there, a local plant preferably. Work from there, learn the basics first: what is a bonsai, how do I keep a plant alive, some basic horticulture...
Again, I’m telling this on the nicest possible way... if you look around in the help section here you will see your questions by the dozens.... most of them we never see or hear again... but are answered by a few of us..

Another good option is to join a local bonsai society, go to a meeting, and say, gosh folks, I don't know what to get. Somebody will say he has 25 two year old cuttings, and needs to get rid of some, or something like that. Maybe three years ago he planted 50 seeds. Or they may have something to sell for friend prices, so the $160 tree might be $15.
