Not sure if this is the right place... was created by N8V

Hello, all! I'm not "new" to Bonsai as I'm not really "into" it. However... I've been propagating some Ficus Benji's and was thinking that perhaps one of them may be able to become a Bonsai.
My question is...
How large must a root system be before planting into a Bonsai pot?
Would it be in my best interest to plant these cutting in soil first and then later move to a Bonsai pot?
My current clippings are showing moderate roots while in water.
Any info/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you. :)

Welcome to the bonsai community! I wouldn't plant into a bonsai pot soon. Plant in a 1 or 5 gallon pot. Pictures would be helpful to see the size of your seedlings. To answer any of your other questions we do need pictures!! I can offer more advice when I see your babies
