Hi all, I am new and trying to pick up this hobby and slowly learn. I bought this tiny bonsai 3 months ago, and now it has grows out of shape, but I am not sure what to do next. What I did in the past months, is just changing to a bigger pot, with holes underneath for the water to flow. And water it every 2-3 days.

I do not dare to start trimming(right term?) because afraid if I did not do it correctly might get the branches infected, or worse Dead. Any basic advice can share with me? If I decided to cut off all the leafs (botak), will it be ok? And for the copper wires, they are shaped by the shop when I first bought it... Any idea when do I need to redo the wire myself? I don't know anyone or friends who interested in bonsai, so I have to find out myself and hopefully learn a few things from master sifus here. Thank you all.
