Great starts, and nice trees.
Any plans for putting them into pots?
Do you plan to keep that soil?
Just curious!

Thank you. No plans as yet to put it in a pot. I'm letting it grow to strengthen it. I don't think it's ready for a pot yet. Any advice would be really appreciated

Definitely wait to re pot should you decide to, wait to mid spring (In general), however I do not live in the UK so perhaps for you it would be different.
Let it Grow!
& nursery soil, while okay, can only be sustainable for some time, might want look into more free draining soil!
Good luck!

Nice start. Truth be told most all started out just how you are. Stick with it. Learn how to keep them alive and healthy and go from there.

Biggest adjustment to bonsai from gardening is the soil IMO. Read up on bonsai soil. Find out what other bonsai enthusiasts in your area are using.
