Thank you Auk. Appreciate the feedback.
Just to clarify a few definition for me. From whatever I have read this species grows 60m in the wild. Bonsai is the art of reducing down those into miniatures,
That's definition is a bit limited. The miniature should be an impression of a mature tree in nature. This is not something that you will easily accomplish with this plant - and that's the reason why you will not find examples of this tree species as bonsai.
Your plant does currently not have any of the features a bonsai has. I know you would like to call it a bonsai, but it isn't.
How does this get defined to a house plant and not a bonsai.
It is no different from other plants of this species that are sold as house plants.
But this isn’t the first bonsai I have seen in non traditional pot, many of the cascade styles have 6inch deep pots like this.
No idea what cascade style has got to do with it, but it is better to stick to the rules/guidelines, if you want to learn bonsai. Once you understand the rules, you can try and break them. If you try and do that as a beginner, it's just not going to work out. Also, I would not call that pot a 'non traditional' pot...
