So, I picked up this one from Homedepot My original plan was to go to the local bonsai shop and get one, but for $35 (with pot and all), I couldn't resist. It's approx 40cm tall. Now with the little reading I've done, I think I need to: - Fairly aggressively prune it down - Re-pot it in a shallow pot, with a proper soil mix. (The perlite is only a shallow top layer). I haven't looked at the root yet, but as the pot is fairly deep, I suspect I also have to cut down the roots a lot. I suppose that prune and re-potting at the same time is a bad idea, so which one should I do first?

Mr. Soop posted:Either one would be fine to do first. Pruning in order to start building the shape of it that you want, repotting it to help aid the growth of the tree and reestablish the root system for it to be an actual bonsai. It'll be a few weeks before I get the new pot (My wife is a potter,so I 'ordered' one), so I think I'll do the pruning first. Thanks for the help.
