Wasn't sure which forum to put this under. This is only my second day on this page and love the generosity and help you guys all give !! Been doing bonsai 3yrs now and came a long way. So figured I try my luck in other fields..... so the point of this post is these 2 little guys. Trying to keep them small and stay small. Can't really find much on the web about how to start them or keep continuous care for them. Only thing I found worthy enough was "if your going to keep in a small pot it's better to put into the small pot, then plant into a bigger pot, and as it grows trim roots growing out the bottom of the smaller pot"....but there has to be more to it. Any advice be great!!! Some back story on these little guys: the "Ficus" was a cutting that I put in peat moss, with one leaf and it took. When it took roots I put into this small pot/bigger pot and it's has continued to grow as you see. This is about 2 months like this.... The "Jap Maple" I was given this at this size about 3 weeks ago. I dug it out the small nursey pot it was in, fed the roots it had threw the hole of the smaller pot and let them grow free into the bigger pot..... everything happy, healthy, and doing good, But now what!!! Lol how to keep it going and staying small. I also took picture of the small pots I have them in. This pot is a size smaller then the ones there actually in, but it gives at a idea. So for the long post guys
