My tree isn't big at all looks very young, but if I want it to get bigger, should I just put the tiny tree in a bigger pot and go from there? Or will the tree get a little bit bigger even if it is in a small pot??
The information you forgot to add:
The tree species
Your local climate
A picture

That's a very young juniper with a twist. It's just a young plant, not a bonsai. Calling this bonsai is a scam.
Keeping it indoors will kill it. In this pot, it will hardly develop and it won't become a bonsai.

You're trolling, right? This question has been asked and answered multiple times the last couple of days.

Posted 8 years 3 months ago #26419P.S.- Do people really troll on bonsai forums? That's quite the niche for a troll.
