I got this premna from Wigerts, mainly for the way the roots look to be honest. I’m wondering where to take it in the future (besides outdoors), on the root side and leaf side.

Are the roots done? It’s completely root bound in the pot, but is there any potential left to do that doesn’t distract or compete with the roots above the surface?

What do I do with the foliage, to complement the roots in some way? Should buds on the roots be plucked? And it’s growing a flower I think?

I got the same tree from Wiggert and with premna you can reduce the leaves by a lot, mine has tiny leaves now after defoliating a couple times every summer. To about the size of a chojubai leave.
