I've started watching how to videos about bonsai lately. I've alway been curious but the time to grow and keeping the trees alive always seems intimidating.

Plus the folks who do this professionally seem to repot semi regularly and cut away a ton of roots. Everytime I've tried to repot something, I've killed it.

Bonsai is a wonderful hobby and it can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. Check out the subreddit for helpful beginner info. Don't get discouraged, 99% of people kill their first two or three trees. I've posted here but the community is non-existent. Look for a local gardening club to point you in the right direction. Chinese elms are probably the best beginner tree hands down.
