Good start. Just forget about making it into a "proper" bonsai.............whatever that means. They don't behave like any other species I've raised. Just let it grow and make something that is pleasing to your eye.

Hello all, i have Nandina domestica and i am thinking about for wintering outdoor. I live in Sofia, Bulgaria with avg. min. winter temperatures around -4/-5 degrees Celsius. I had bought portable greenhouse, and thinking to cover it up with extra stretch folio for extra protection. What do you advise me to do?
Thank you!

I think wintering outdoors would be OK. They are listed for US plant hardiness zones 6-10, which seems to correspond with your location.

Oct-13-2024 update. I keep cutting the longer leggier compound leaves. Noticing smaller leaves and shorter internodes. Whatever that means.

Nandinas grown in the ground are fully cold hardy in my climate. We usually have lows in the same range numerous times a year with occasional temperatures much colder. At -5C I think that protecting the roots by burying the pot in a mulch pile would be fine. No greenhouse necessary.
