Protect from frost. Being evergreen, they should not be over-wintered in sheds or other dark storage areas as it is believed that they still need light during the winter months. It may be possible to over-winter these bonsai indoors in a bright location. A conservatory or bright porch would be suitable. It may be possible to keep it on a sunny windowsill over the winter, but further experimentation is required to confirm this.

Take the foliage between your thumb and forefinger and give it a gentle pull. The growth tips should come off between your fingers. You hold the branch with your other hand to reduce the chance of you snapping it. You can also prune with scissors, as you would topiary.
The flowers appear that the tips of the new foliage in the spring, so it may be advisable to undertake a good, hard prune after flowering, then leave the foliage to grow for the rest of the year. More experimentation will take place to confirm this
