You can reduce the foliage to practically nothing, who am I kidding nothing and these will bud back no problem. Water as needed( when starting to get dry but still with some noticable moisture in the soil.


Pruning will be dictated by a style choice, come up with a choice, then begin to eliminate branches that don't work with how you envision the tree down the road.

On the contensious side many don't like these as bonsai due to the bulbous roots, I have seen it put out many times that they can be layered, which would give a more even taper to the trunk, and a chance (for a while anyway) for a more normal nebari.
