I understand the point. All I was saying is that I had these pots in my basement for years, so I didn't go buying expensive pots. I wanted to get started, I took some cuttings and spend $20 on substrate that Amazon delivered in 12 hours. This was a whim, I figured I could get the roots started because they were basically non existent.
I am basically bound to the house, unfortunately, due to medical issues. It was easy for me to get motivated and work with these small pots. I Have since bought 5 gallon pots which are made of some kind of fabric, people grow trees in them apparently without any issues. I now need to get soil.
I realize that I did not do this in the ideal way, I didn't realize there were such strict rules to what I thought was an art form. I am having fun cultivating small trees, isn't that what this is about?
Thanks for the suggestions Madarte, I just can't be digging around in a yard unfortunately. I am confined to growing on my deck, which is OK for me. Will be replanting sometime this week I think, updates soon.

No strict rules but guidelines. And sure, excellent if you are having fun growing small trees. I guess you mean that, as it is art, you can do whatever you like; it is just a matter of being creative. Sure you can. Likewise, you can get a piece of wood, carve it, create a beautiful wooden bowl out of it. Just don't call what you're doing pottery, it would be silly.

"Misho Bonsai tree grown from seed. It refers to planting seeds and cultivating them. This way of cultivation does not require great care and is suitable for beginners. The method is advantageous in that a tree can be grown as a bonsai plant from the start and that its ''nebari'' surface roots develop sufficiently. However, it takes a great deal of time to grow a tree into a finished one, and the method may cause a transubstantiation phenomenon that makes a tree species unstable, disadvantageous points for the ''misho'' cultivation method. The method is applicable for most tree species. Among ''shohaku'' evergreen pines, it is often used for ''goyomatsu'' (Japanese White Pine) and ''kuromatsu'' (Japanese Black Pine) trees. ''Momiji'' (Japanese Maple), ''keyaki'' (Japanese Zelkova), ''kaede'' (Maple) and ''soro'' (Japanese Zelkova) are among ''zoki'' deciduous trees to which the ''misho'' cultivation method is applied."
It would seem there are many ways to bonsai. Thanks for your input, as always.
