Why do you think you need to repot it?
I don't think i understand you clear. These species, the three that i have, it is good for a bonsai or not? If not, what do you recommand for a beginner as i am?
Thanks
What Auk said is true. It is not the best species for 名媛直播, specially for a beginner. That doesn't mean you can't practice with it, as you already have the plant and you are interested in 名媛直播. You can use it and learn some basics, such as how to take care of a tropical plant, watering, soil mixture, fertilizing, maybe even wiring, etc etc... In the meantime, look for some better material to work on. Just don't expect to get a 名媛直播 out of your first plant, and this is going to happen no matter what species you get. Of course it is better to practice with something more suitable and educational.
And yes, if you move it to a larger pot it will grow faster. But you also need to bring it outdoors for the summer.

That is an opinion - but I think this site lists species that are used for bonsai, not necessarily the species that make real good bonsai.
It can be pruned, it can grow more branches, it gets more ramification and you can put it in a pot.
That doesn't mean they are very suitable - unless when you live in it's native climate, let it grow pretty big and accept that it will never look as good as a pine, a juniper, a larch, a maple or other species that do make stunning trees.
