Hi, I've been involved with bonsai for quite a while now, but received a nice little buttonwood for Christmas, which I have little experience with. Although it seems well rooted in the plastic pot it came in, and I have it under lights in my basement which seem to be suiting it, (temp. ~ 86-92oF daytime, mid to high 60's at night), I'd like some guidance on reducing the leaf size as well as pruning to encourage foilage to break closer to the trunk. I've read all I can find on the net, but was hoping someone could give me a detailed rundown on what to try and when to attempt it.
Thanks for any help you can give. Tried to send a pic, but apparently 151kb is too large, (newbie), sorry.
