I acquired this young tree at the beginning of summer and let it sit outside to go wild. About a month ago, I pruned the wild tendrils and transplanted it to bonsai soil. This tree will live indoors in a window that gets brilliant morning sun.

The good news is, I haven't killed it yet. I'm a bit scared with these early endeavors. I'm giving thoughts now to eventual shapes for this tree. Any advice is appreciated.

Don't take me wrong.
But please, let it grow for some time, it's just a young plant.

The tendrils that it created while outside for the summer were all at least 12-15" long and were pulling the poor tree over. I only trimmed those back but am letting it do it's thing otherwise. I expect that I'm going to be leaving this guy alone for the next year. It's really young. I was just thinking about what types of shapes people do with a Fukien Tea.... it doesn't have the s shaped trunk that so many have.
