Serissa

[nurvbonsai]

Hi everyone, looking for some advice on my serissa. I’ve been trying to train it into a triangle shape, but I’m not sure where (or if) I should apply wire right now. Should I hold off for a bit, or is there something I can do at this stage? Thanks in advance!

How long have you had it? My experience with serissa is that they are hard to keep alive in my zone. I haven't managed to keep one alive yet.
So, my advice is, if you haven't had it and kept it alive for several years, do nothing except try to not let it die. If you can keep it alive for several years then think about pruning.

I just got it today. I liked the flowering. Snow Flower.

Based on second picture did I not do that enough?
