I have this juniper bonsai (I believe) and was gifted it this christmas. I think she’s still alive but I don’t know a whole lot about taking care of her. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. She’s drinking from water in this bowl currently

That juniper looks a little crispy how long has it looked like that. I’m afraid it’s a goner though

I agree with Trevor that bonsai needs some TLC if it has a chance. I'd repot, change the soil, fertilize, and put outside and water daily.
