Dear Ryan, don't be sad but this IS NOT A BONSAI.
It is a houseplant.
Please follow the link below and see for yourself what a bonsai looks like:

It was with the bonsai at the garden centre there was a few of this in that section different sizes. one of the staff cut that off it for me. None of the bonsai had their names that's why I did not buy the full tree in case it was not suitable for me. This was a branch of the main small trunk

I own a printing house, specialized in fineart printing.
It means using only acid free,100% PH neutral, cotton or kozo fiber paper.
These papers combined with mineral pigment inks can make a picture last 200 years, unchanged.
Still...
There are cheap papers made from cellulose (lignin drenched), that carry heavy amounts of chemical optical brighteners, and perhaps only 5% of cotton.
They are very cheap, very bad, don't last more than 5 years and don't hold the ink.
But...
Vendors sell these 5% cotton papers with names like "Cotton Matte Art Paper". It has cotton in it after all, right?
It is the same regarding bonsai.
Garden vendors sell ANY KIND of plant in ugly glazed cheap pots from China and call them "BONSAI".
They are plants after all, right? Small, and in bonsai pots. So they can call them whatever they decide.

So, they sold you a cutting (a cut branch) as a bonsai.
I don't think this is a nice commercial behavior at all.

Good.
A Chinese Elm can be trained into a bonsai.
BTW, the plant on your video is not the same species as the cutting you've got at the garden place anyway.

As a side note,
it was not nice from you going to another forum with the same pictures and the same question AFTER I (and others) have already answered you, given you some useful links, and said the plant in your pictures are not the same plant shown in your video.
I feel I have wasted my time while trying to help you. Not even a thank you, isn't it?

i have never been on bonsai forums before. I created both topics at the same time as I didn't know how much bonsai forums got used and I just replied to people who answered on both forums.
