Premna japonica - Stinky maple shohin pre-bonsai:

 Premna japonica bonsai precursor, also known as Scented Maple, in the shohin size category. Premna species need to take into account that they are very sensitive to cold, so temperatures above about 10 ° C are needed for healthy development. They love breezy places full of air movement. Sunny and bright places are preferred, but very small specimens should be protected from strong, scorching sunshine during the summer. If it can be placed indoors, Premna needs a warmer place with higher humidity and plenty of light, which requires the purchase of separate devices in some cases. Plant-growing lamps are essential for growing indoors. When it drops its leaves and comes to a winter dormancy, it needs to be treated as a coldhouse plant, which means it needs a temperature between 0 ° C and 10 ° C. Premnas bring many roots, so they also need plenty of water and should not be allowed to dry out their soil. In winter, keep them slightly moist and avoid using lime water and overwatering. Premna japonica needs to be allowed to rest without winter nutrient replenishment. However, until the fall, she will thank the fertilizer in the spring. We recommend a good water-permeable medium for planting (Akadama + Kiryu mixture).
