Please help me.. I don't know what I have and I think I'm killing them. I want to care for them properly. I don't know if/when to re-pot, what species, anything.

In the menu strip click techniques, and then read the topics there about watering, etc.

You are growing juniper indoors. That will not work. The tree is already dead. Try again and put the tree outdoors.

Something that is dead can’t be revived….but unlike Tropfrog I am not convinced that it’s dead . Can you give us a bit more info: your geografical position, how long do you have it, position of the tree, watering routine,….

Well, there might some life left. But if you are in the northern hemisphere it is winter now. The tree needs to be outside gradually getting used to winter temperatures for weeks before. Now it is catch 22. Inside it will die, if you move it outside it will be chocked and die as well. The only chanse is to gradually get the tree used to low temperatures but stay at 5c. Keep it like that for at least 6 weeks and after that mowe it outside. Most beginners dont have that facilities to do such an artificial overwintering and it is barelly worth the effort. It is proboably better to just discard this tree and start fresh in the right way come spring. Outdoors all the time.

I've had it a couple months. I'm in the high plains of West TX/Eastern NM. We were watering every couple days and bringing outside for afternoon sun most days. But my sister got injured a week or so ago and so nothing has been consistent since then. But they weren't doing good before that either. Unfortunately there's nothing gradual about our weather here. It can literally be 75 or 80 degrees one day and drop to 20 degrees the next.

First of all a friendly reminder that this is an international forum , local abbreviations and measurements mean nothing for the vast majority of the world. I am in AN/ B any idea where that is? And 80 degrees means almost boiling for the majority of the world using Celsius...
That being said, lets continue with your juniper. Trees belong outside, there is no such thing as an indoor tree.So ,the condition it is in now is due to the fact that you had it inside. It could survive, but the problem with coniferous species is that they start to show signs of distress a long time after they become sick or have died. Place it outside, and never bring it back in again.Water when the soil becomes dry to the touch, and water abundant with a garden hose or watering can untill water spills from the draiange holes underneath the pot. No fertilising, no fiddling with it, just water untill you see sings of growth in spring. But dont get your hope too high, it is probably too late for this one

My area is not quite as extreme as New Mexico, but we have the same swings. Twelve inches (about 1/3 meter) of rain one day, followed by two weeks of hot sun and drying conditions. There aren't any rules to follow about how many days to water, or anything related to temperatures.

Most of the bonsai world, including most of the participants here, live in areas with at least a couple of months of cold weather below freezing most of the time, maybe with some swings of temperature to light jacket weather, but mostly very cold. Most bonsai advice is for plants that expect that kind of weather, and most mail order plants expect long cold periods. If you are where there are wild temperature swings, don't get mail order plants, but get plants growing in the wild. They have evolved in that climate, they know how to survive with the short cold periods in your area, and you will have easy success.
