First Bonsai

I was gifted a bonsai with very a vague info/instruction paper. I don't even know what type of tree it is to do any research. I tried to identify it myself....yea that didn't work... Please help

Hey Snupie, welcome! Read up on posting pics here- that will be critical for any identification efforts. If you're not techno-savvie, it'll just take a few extra tries. https://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/t243-b-tutorial-on-posting-pics
The picture will be best viewed with some good light, a contrasting background, and taken at ground level. Will be watching for your response!

Ahh I did up load but I didnt copy paste the link. Hopefully I do it right this time. Sorry but that.

Just a quick response. Other will provide more detailed info. Looks like it is a juniper, probably procumbens nana. This as with most bonsai is a outdoors tree. Not sure of the soil it is in. How fast does it drain?

Thanks! Well it seems to drain ok but it is a bit muddy. I have only cared for regular house plants so I'm not sure how wet it's supposed to be. From what I have read so far I'm concerned it's in the wrong soil. It's more like reagular potting soil rather then corse or sandy. Should I change it? Maye be put some fertilizer too? I have only had it for two days sofar. I have always had a great respect for Bonsai and it brings me great pleasure. I really want to learn correctly and be successful. Thank you all for taking the time to help guide me

Your thinking seems to be on the right track, and it's ok to repot this time of year. I used to buy bonsai soil online from www.bonsaiofbrooklyn.com. It performed wonderfully, but became cost prohibitive to pay shipping for a growing number of plants. Right now you have one and BoB is relatively close, so you might order from them and repot asap. That is all I would do this year- repot it and let it grow. Next year you could do some pruning and styling. In the meantime, look for book recommendations and study up on bonsai.
