Hi sabitan, welcome to bonsai. Joanie has some real good advice here. If you try a mini bonsai it will be more difficult than one in a pot say the size of a shoe box. Years ago I got a tree in a 2" by 2" pot, and of course it died. I still have that pot, and still can't grow anything in it. And don't short change a ficus. They can be made fairly small, and there are also mini varieties available, with smaller leaves. Have fun.
