Premna bonsai care

This is a living Premna (Premna microphylla). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor: Outdoors in warm weather; indoors in cold climates: keep above 50°F (10°C)
Light: Bright light; a south-facing window indoors, full sun to part shade outdoors
Water: WET: vigorous and thirsty; needs plenty of water and must not dry out completely
USDA zones: 8 to 11 (tropical/subtropical; not frost-hardy)
#1 cause of death: Cold damage (exposure below ~50°F) and letting the soil dry out completely; root rot from waterlogging is a secondary risk
