First tip would be to learn what bonsai is and what good starter material looks like.
What you have are young plants.

Very good. So, you know your juniper is not a bonsai but a young cutting in a pot and that it belongs outdoors. The other two plants are just young plants that should not be sold under the label 'bonsai' either.

if you put it in a grower pot an allowed the trunk to thicken it it could make a good semi cascade with the right styling...

Personally, I breed guppies and ornamental shrimp in the off months of the gardening year.
Also has the advantage of providing me with an abundance of dechlorinated nitrate-rich water.

Do you use plastic wrap to help hold moisture in? The mallsai junipers I'm experimenting on seem to like having a sheet draped loosely over them. My apartment is fairly humid from the tanks, but not quite humid enough without further artifice.
