I normally wouldn’t buy another tree until Spring, but I am tempted to buy a premna that I have come across recently. Will a premna overwinter okay in the house given a warm spot under grow lights, and with a room humidifier? Or should I forget premna & consider something else? I am primarily interested in a donor plant to root cuttings for mame bonsai & like the mame premna I have seen.

It should do fine under the grow lights. You really won't know until you try. Others in USA have had success with Premna under lights. At least that is my recollection. I have not grown Premna myself so my comment is "internet knowledge" rather than real world experience.
