I bought the Japanese Maple from a guy on Ebay. The red shoots are all new growth from pruning, and breaking off crinkled leaves.
The Juniper I got from an asian lady at our county fair. There is some slight browning underneath, but being a novice at bonsai, I have no idea what to do about that.

They both came as they were in their pots. The maple was in bad shape when it arrived in the mail. It had many dead, or crinkled leaves. After a lot of pruning/breaking off dead leaves it's doing alot better.
I've thought about wire training the maple, but I don't know how to go about doing so. Do you think the maple's pot is too small?
