Juniper dying! Help

[Llamabro4]

So I bought this juniper about a month ago and I attempted my first wiring on a bonsai. I accidentally completely cracked the trunk and it split off. I did a completely horrible job, and other parts of the tree have turned purple, and now crispy and brown. I sealed the breaks with wood glue, as I was told to do, but everything seems not great. I moved the tree from a normal garden soil to pumice with pieces of orchid bark mixed throughout. If anyone knows what’s wrong or what to do, please let me know. Thanks!

We have already discussed that the top part was probably dead and it has now gone completely.
We have already talked about rough bending sometimes killing the sap flow to branches even when you don't see external damage and the branch will die. Nothing you can do after the damage is done but be aware for next time.
Many bonsai people believe that junipers resent too much interference in a short time. They prefer to do either styling OR repotting rather than both close together. Personally I have not found that to be a problem but if your tree fails maybe consider taking the next one a bit slower - one job at a time. Real bonsai can require patience.

Most of the foliage looks OK still. I have confidence that much of the tree will survive if you keep it watered and out of really hot sun. There's nothing more you can do except give good care and hope.

Alright thanks!

Patience grasshopper. As shibui aluded to, you were overambitious on this one. The effort is commendable. However, you have to be aware that there are important technical elements that you have to learn to be successful. It's okay. You don't know what you don't know. Just understand that there is a big learning curve early in bonsai. So try to take it one step at a time.

As for the tree, it looks like it might survive. But it's going to get worse before it gets better. Be patient with it. Don't nitpick. Don't fret over every brown branch. Just water appropriately and fertilize lightly, and it might pull through. If it doesn't, chalk it up to a learning experience.
