Good morning, all!

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm completely new and equally as clueless when it comes to the art of bonsai. I've always wanted to try my hand, so to speak, and I've run across a potentially viable happenstance in my yard. My new house has an incredibly huge, old pine tree. Because of the absurd amount of cones it has dropped, little pine sprigs are popping up all over my yard. What I'd like to do is take up this hobby by training one of these little sprigs. The house I bought is the first with my wife and I, and we'd both like to do this as a little nod to tradition and something to do and age with us.

Now, the flaws - I have no idea if it's possible and I'm not sure entirely where to start. I understand that I need specific vessels and soil, but I don't know if bonsai-ing a Florida slash pine is possible. For someone just looking to start, all critiques and suggestions are welcome. Links, of course, are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there,
Welcome to the forum.
In the beginning you don't need any special pot to put your seedling in. Use a regular plant pot. What you need is good, free draining bonsai soil.
A seedling that small needs to grow for some years before being worked on. It's a slow process.
If you want to start now, go to a nursery and buy an inexpensive tree.
Do lots of research on the specific tree you'd like before purchasing it.

Welcome. And guess what.. You can most likely get started with the stuff you have at home. YOu CAN spend as much as 200 $ on equipemnt, anbd be unhappy with it, but you do not have to

As for pines.. Better well-stolen than badly thought up:
