Tq sifu bonsailelong!
Yes yes would love your ideas..there's another tree i would love for u to provide me with some ideas as well. Kinda lost for thoughts for the past few weeks in shaping this tree. No visualization of the shape to be made. Tq for your kind reply.still learning and mostly the trees were bought n learning to shape n re-shape. Drooling looking at your bonsais. Hope i can learn from u n the sifus in the forum.

If I'm not wrong, your Premna is "occupied" by spider mites, a kind of bonsai pest.
This can be deal with quite easily. First water jet and brush to wash as clean as possible the whole plant.
But before that, wrap the pot with plastic sheet to prevent any spider mites or eggs washed into the soil.
Then spray a thin solution of dishwashing detergent over the whole plant. Do not wash away the detergent as it's
not harmful to any plant and can also prevent any spider mite from "reoccupying" the plant.
You have quite a nice "on the rock" Prenma. After cleaning, if you can post a clear whole photo of it, I might be able to give
some suggestion in shaping if you wanted to.
