I think I am going to repot too. Mostly b/c I have had the plant for a few days now and the soil is still pretty wet - and who knows when the last time they watered it was (just checked with bamboo skewers). I'm going to go to a local nursery and see if they have any shallow pots as the 'chain' stores that have garden centers don't have anything of the sort. Bought a couple books today (101 essential tips and Ortho's All about Bonsai). Hopefully they'll give me some good information. Also got a plant bulb today for my lamp. Hopefully it'll help.

I was looking, and there is just flat out a lot of leaves on this tree, so I think I will repot it, wait a few weeks, and then prune. Still undecided about what I want to do, but I'm almost 100% certain I want to do roots over rock, as far as the branch configuration, still very much up in the air about that. Only thing w/ roots over rock that I'm concerned w/ is the possibility that it could be very hard on a tree, and being new that I won't do it right, so *shrug*.

No matter the case, my fiancee made the comment "you're really getting into this" (as I looked for a magazine at barnes & nobel). I told her I'd been wanting to do this for a long time, she just gave me the excuse.
