New Hampshire has a very wide range of zones within the state. I would need to know a zipcode or a town to better help you. The zones range from 3 to 6, so knowing that will be a big difference in choices of trees.

What is wrong with my bonsai tree because leafs are turning brown and falling of.
The first consideration is water deficit/drought stress. Without sufficient water the foiage will dry and die.
I have recently started my journey into caring for plants. I started with a Bonsai (juniper), and got Myrtle Topiary and a Cycad. Since the winters in PA can get a little rough and the temperatures have dropped. How do i maintain these plants? I don't know to much except water and not over water. I'm not sure what kind of food they take or when to feed them. Is there any resources you know of that can help me get a basic foundation? I really enjoy plants and I want to keep growing!
Generally, care for plants during the winter is pretty easy. I will include several articles that you will find helpful.

I have tried to find out what this bonsai tree's species is, but I can't exactly determine and don't want to kill my plant. If any of you know what this bonsai plant's species is, could you please help? Thanks a lot!
It is a little difficult to tell because of the plant's condition, but the bark suggests that it is a Ficus of some kind. Most likely a subcultivar of Ficus benjamina.

Hello, I have started the process of pre-planting potential Bonsai trees, Acer Rubrum and Pinus Mugo Pumilio. I have followed instructions to place my soaked seeds into the compost provided and placed them into perforated bags and will have to wait 2 - 3 weeks. Am I correct in saying I need to water the seeds if the compost seems dry? The booklet says nothing about watering during this time.
It should remain slightly moist at all times for best results. Make sure not to over-water these. But don't let them dry out fully either.
