Can you help with my Juniper Bonsai tree?

We have our second juniper bonsai tree and can't seem to keep it alive. We've had it for 6 months and now it's starting to lose leaves (needles) and parts of it are turning brown.





We live in Florida, a humid, warm climate so we keep it moist and soak the bottom to water it, but it's dying! Help us! We really want to keep this alive but can't figure out what we're doing wrong.





And there are no pests, we've been checking. Any ideas?|||I think your problem is that you are soaking it, never soak a bonsai! place it in the sink and spray it gently with your spray attachment on your kitchen sink, stop watering with the water drains from the holes in the bottom of the planter, let it drain and put it back on the window sill or wherever you keep it, water it again only when the soil is dry. Mine is doing fine and that is how they told me to water it, usually every other day in the summer and now once a week is all it needs lately, good luck!|||Our darn cat keeps eatting our bonsai tree, do you have one too?
