Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I have taken a sudden interest in the art of bonsai recently. So I had some juniper in the ground for about 5 years and decided to dig them up and prune them and start to train them. I brought some training pots from my local bonsai shop pruned the roots back a bit didn't touch the main rootball as didn't know it it would harm the tree too much but trimmed the other roots. Replanted it in bonsai soil and started to style the tree. I didn't have wire to hand so I had to strip electrical wire and use that, should be ok shouldn't it? I was reasonably happy with how they look. What do you guys think? Please bear in mind this is my first attempt and am very keen to learn. I'm sure in time I will progress!!! Is there any special thing I need to do now they have had such massive shock? Other than leave them to recover and grow? Any advice is really appreciated, thanks in advance

The usual recipe for failure.

What do you guys think?

What I think about your start in bonsai:
You suddenly wanted to 'do bonsai', did not study, did not prepare yourself o r the tree, are using wrong materials. As most starters, you are too eager to start working on a tree, and don't have the patience to take things slowly and step by step. In most cases, trees do not survive this.

If you were asking what I think about the plant... no idea. Seems you wanted to upload a photo but it didn't work out?

No. Generally, the wire in electrical cable is bare copper which will not work as bonsai wire. the wire must first be coiled and annealed so that it is malleable yet holds its shape when bent around the tree.
Can you include a picture?

I have tried to upload the pics but it says file too large, I took them on my iPhone how do I upload them?

By making them less large?

Here are the pictures

I suggest you leave them alone now and let them recover and grow. Next, start studying bonsai - what they look like, why they look like that, how / where / when to prune, when to repot, how to properly water and fertilize them, etc., etc., etc.
