It’s a Fukien. It loves high humidity and lots of high light. It’s not one that you can neglect. It likes to be slightly damp never soggy. It is not drought tolerant so cannot stand to dry out completely like other house plants. Keeping outside is best for the spring and summer but if you’re growing indoors, a window with a few hours of direct sun would be great. If no window, I would give it its very own special grow light and be extra careful about not watering too frequently. I wouldn’t prune anything out for now unless it’s already dead or crispy. Once you see new growth it should get a good feed.. something bonsai specific takes away the guessing. Looks like it could use a repot but that’s a whole other beast.
