Hello everyone.
i have a Judas seedling a week in from germination. i know it is too soon to repotting however and unfortunately there was not much soil in the nursery pot and the root is exiting from one of the bottom holes. what should i do wait to have more true leaves... put this pot inside a bigger one (can only imagine it will be difficult o the next repotting) or repot now to a bigger pot ?
thanks in advance for the advice

Usually on a bonsai forum, repot means wash all the dirt off, trim up some rooms, spread them out, etc. That is not what you want to do.
Get a pot - plastic just like this one is OK - about twice the size this one is in. Put a layer of soil mixed with sand across the bottom. Or mixed with gravel, or anything that drains. With a pair of scissors, cut the existing plastic pot down the side and around the bottom, cutting hole to hole, disturbing the roots as little as possible. Put the root ball in the new pot, add dirt around the root ball, filling it up around the sides. Put it outside and water it when the soil starts to try out. Put it in partial shade for a couple of weeks, and then increase the sun it gets.
