First there’s the old japanese frase “as the top so be the bottom” this means you must keep the roots tha same size as the cup but first make sure it’s a young tree then the rest is cares
Actually a Bonsai tree is intended to “mimic” a larger version of itself in appearance. There are so many things to choose from including style, pot size, plant variety, and location. Once you figure out these things you can start to ask the right questions.
For example, if you are growing it in your house an Azalea bonsai might be your best choice. Want a “grove” style bonsai? then Japanese Maples are the only way to go. Want a hardier bonsai you can learn From, then a Chinese Juniper is probably you best bet. Then you have to figure out how big you want it and the best suited pot style etc.
Take a stroll where you live and look for any trees or shrubs that are growing wild. Dig up the very small ones with plenty of the soil they are growing in. Take home and pot up and have youself some fun looking after them. If you want to take it more seriously then go to the library and look for a good book. Better still see if there is a local bonsai society where you live and join it.
