Hi
I agree with the facts already stated, yet I know there are now lots of people who enjoy growing bonsai from seeds, because they enjoy growing a bonsai specimen to their own shape. The seed is best in a small pot, when the seedling in large enough to handle transfer to a bonsai pot (if you haven't already sown it straight into one). Bonsai Pots are shallow and do not leave a lot of room for the roots. As the Seedling grows, they have to be trimmed both roots and branches certain times of the year, the branches have to be trained to grow into the shape you require which involves wire to keep them in position. Though some beginners do not always wire their first few Bonsai's. If you want to grow a Bonsai from Seed try something like Chinese Elm, they are good to experiement with as they withstand quite a bit of pruning etc.
Regards
Chris
