Hello,
I bought a bonsai kit and I got a starter tree with it a 4 year old chinese elm. It doesn't have a very thick trunk and I would like to plant it in a large pot for awhile so it will get bigger. should I still use bonsai soil or what. I plan to get some books but haven't hit payday yet. Also the pot they sent with it is very small I am thinking that If I plant it in a larger pot for awhile it will be to big for this pot when the time comes. I have 2 grow rooms that I use for other plants one has a metal haylaid (I don't think I spelled haylaid right) and the other has several floresent grow lights which would be best for this little tree. How long should it stay under the light I mean how many hours a day. any other input would be great as well. Right now it is still in the container it came in and under the floresents seems alright I have been giving it about 6 hours of light a day.
