Fast, is not how a bonsai should grow, They're supposed to stay small. That's the whole point of bonsai. Find a local bonsai club because they're a great source of info. In the meantime, peruse this site for care, etc.

It sounds as if you think Bonsai is a type or breed of plant…it is NOT…it is a method of growing plants….slowly, very limited root space, constant pruning and shaping, use of heavy wire to form shape of "trunk" you want. Considering how Bonsai is done, a "new" plant is bonsai at 10 years, a good plant is at least 25 years old…..this is a lifetime committment on the grower's part. That is why Bonsai are expensive, not a plant to place in the wrong place OR forget to water!
Ceders, Junipers, cypress all make excellent Bonsai, some Maples and I suppose, almost any tree that can withstand constant pruning. Be careful that you do not choose "trees" that normally have large leaves, as these are not satisfactory for bonsai. Shallow dishes (about 2" deep) are used for bonsai, usually the diameter of the tree greenery.

Bonsai trees have so little soil that they need watering daily or even more often in hot weather. Their real 'home' is in the mountains of Japan where the conditions are very harsh and the only foothold a tree might have is in a crevice in the rock. Although there may not be much actual rain, the air is often damp with mist, so the moisture they need is usually there.
Creating and maintaining a Bonsai involves loving care over many years. In order to make it look like a miniature of its species, one has to prune the roots regularly and, because of its small root system, it needs frequent water.
Usually a spray from a bottle two or three times a day to keep it moist is enough. In hot sunshine it should be shaded. It should be possible to leave it outside in the winter, but that would depend on the plant.
I'm not sure what you mean by a 'Jupiter' tree – I think you may mean Juniper. These are very good, slow growing trees for Bonsai, since their natural habitat is rocky places. If yours has gone dry, try a few weeks of 'misty' weather … keep the compost moist (but not wet). They are very hardy and can stand a day or so of drying out now and again, if they have to.

The serissa is an indoor (tropical) tree, and you can take care of it the way you would tåke care of any houseplant. Even though it was grown and trimmed as a bonsai, there is nothing mystical about it—it's a houseplant. Hopefully the soil was mixed to have good drainage. If you will send an email to me at
wchoat@american-bonsai.com , I'll send you lengthy care instructions specifically for your serissa. Also, you may want to look at
http://www.american-bonsai.com at my Bonsai Care page for more information.
