New to bonsais - a few questions

Corso

Hey all I have just bought myself two bonsais home from the local nursery, and to be honest, I have no real idea on how to look after these.
I know that trimming, watering and generally caring for bonsais is crucial to thier development and I also know that different bonsais have different needs.

I have a 1997 "Grevillea robusta" and a 1999 "Juniper squatmata - Prostrata'".
After a quick search I found out that Junipers are generally easy to maintain but not more information was found then this. (also the Grevillia is positioned in the Formal upright style and the Juniper is positioned in the Informal Upright style)

So I was wondering if any of you proffesional bonsai growers could let me know how to care for these species so hopefully I to could show off my bonsais in the gallery (one day)

Thanks in advance!
