Hi all. This is my first post. I'm relatively new to Bonsai. I had one about a year ago that didn't make it due to lack of sunlight. I had kept my fig indoors a little to far from the window. I overwatered it as well, because I wasn't really sure what rules to follow for such a small bonsai.
Anyway, I have two new specimens that I am working with now. I bought a small juniper(about 4") and just this weekend picked up a Black Locust shrub.
My question is regarding the new shrub I picked up. I want to take it from it's 4 gallon container down into something wider and not so deep. How much can I downsize from the container it is in without harming the plant? The shrub is about 3 feet tall from the top of the soil.
Also of anyone has any experience with Black Locust and has any tips or good advice, it would be appreciated. Ive read online that this is a rare tree to use as a bonsai, but the trunk growth really interested me.
