Hello everyone! Just started with bonsai, I have three trees right now. This seems like a great place, looking forward to participating in your community!
I picked up my first nursery stock a few days ago, a winter gem boxwood. It was HUGE and very root bound. Today I trimmed the roots and repotted it, anchored it in the pot with wire, and did some (but not all) pruning.
It has three trunks, which I kind of like! It looks like they're twisting together.
Here are some pictures after pruning:

I'd love any feedback you guys have!
This will be my first time wiring a tree... it's still so dense it's hard to see where to wire it, but I'm worried about pruning it back too much.
Edit: Also, I'll be growing this indoors. I know, not ideal, but I live in a second floor apartment and there is no yard to keep my trees in. I invested in a large fluorescent light, which you can see in the picture background.
