The main plant (evergreen/ conifer) is a juniper. It looks like mixed in with baby jade plants and other stuff.

It would be a very bad combination of plants for northerners. Junipers die indoors, they need cold dormancy. Baby jade plants die outdoors if temps get down to freezing. But I saw your other post saying you are in Mexico. So maybe you don't have any freezing weather. The junipers I am familiar with (which is what yours look like) don't do well with heat and need some winter cold. There are tropical versions as well. So hopefully someone who sold you that gave you a juniper that will survive your climate. But depending on where you bought it, no guarantees.

If you are just starting with bonsai, please read these bonsai growing tips and the bonsai information in the articles section of this website.

best wishes!
