My 3 new pre-bonsai trees

[BonsaiBeginnings]

Hello all,

I am new to growing bonsai and have started my collection with a few plants. I re-potted them earlier in the month but after doing more research I think it might be better if I put them in some bigger training pots until they thicken up a bit because of their age.

The red tree is a karo red coprosma, the curved is obviously a cotoneaster, and the third is a japanese boxwood.

How big should the training pots be, three gallons? Would it be too stressful to re-pot them again this month or should I wait until next year? Any other thing that catches your eye let me know, I've still got a lot to learn.

Hi!
I'm new to bonsai world as well and I am not talented for these stuff
But My personal opinion is that you don't repot them, it will just be another stress.
I also wouldn't wire it after repoting. For about a month or so. This is just my observation, which may be completly wrong.

Some other more experienced member will tell us what to do and how, I hope

Also, what did you use for your soil? Just curious...

Nice looking trees by the way, I like them.

Thanks for the tips I just used some organic bonsai soil from a near by nursery. Hopefully I can keep them alive long enough for them to become real bonsai haha from what I have seen most of these trees are fairly hardy and will be good to learn with

I think you will take good care, since you look eager to start, just don't poke around the trees too much. Let them be.
Also on your next repotting I would use mainly inorganic soils, the plants will feel better and it will be harder for overwater them.
Good luck.
