Wanted to get feedback/thoughts on how fast I can downsize this little guy. I wasn’t able to repot this season but I want to get it downsized asap as I move into the ramification/refinement process. Currently its in a gallon pot. The pot on the left is obviously shorter but I think it holds about 2/3 – 3/4 the amount of soil due to its width. If I repot into that next spring, is that aggressive enough to get it into the bonsai pot the following spring? Would you use a smaller intermediate pot? Should there be two intermediate pots? Thanks for sharing what you know!

the blue pot is fine as long as you dont want it to get any bigger/thicker
Kinda depends on the state of the rootball. If that gallon pot is solid full of roots, reducing it all the way down on one step may be too much. If it’s still pretty loose in the pot, you could prob reduce it enough to get it in there.
