A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

I know the feeling neglecting a plant :) :whistle:
I'm doing the same thing with my Chinese elm and left it for 2 months without pruning or wiring, multiple branches are thickening but still got a long way to go. Until then, I will repot in winter and before I start cutting back/pruning
Kind Regards

Yeah sometimes a bit of time out is what we need. As long as you still water and dont kill them in the time of neglect. :lol:
