In serissa, usually.

Careful about moving serissa about, they don't like it.

Those small bugs, are they some sort of whitefly? These sort of creatues like high moisture levels; watering your bonsai less might help get rid of them, rather than resorting to chemicals.

I think even something like a solution of fairy liquid (dishwashing soap) would kill them. The idea behind using soap (spraying it on the leaves) is that it dissolves the waxy cuticle on the insect's shell, so they simply dehyrate and die.

Good luck with your tree
