Very nice tree, especially for 0.89, I would get rid of the moss, it is only needed when displaying you tree. The moss will rob the tree or water and nutrients. I would start looking for a larger training pot. Probably 3 to 4 times the size of the current pot and also look for some Kanuma bonsai soil. Next spring, just as the buds start to swell, repot it in 100% Kanuma and let it go for a couple of years. You can start to wire some bend into the trunk after you repot if you want. It should get morning sun and afternoon shade, outside. Azaleas like damp, but not wet roots. so water when the soil is almost dry. A little balanced fertilizer starting about a month after you repot and you should see a lot of new growth next year. Welcome to the club!
