Need Serissa help - yellow leaves, black tips
Hello friends,
Approx. 6 weeks ago, I bought a 20 years old Serissa. Our problem: Since 1 week some leaves become completely yellow and fall off. Some leaves - up to now less than 10 - get black tips. How I took care so far: Water: Every 2nd day as much as it drips out of the pan a little bit. Fertilizer: Once a week Floragard Bonsai fertilizer (dosis as indicated 3 ml for 2 l water, but not every 2nd day as indicated). Position: Very bright with no direct sun, currently at around 26 degree C. Cutting: Some days ago the first time. Had some new branches, looking OK. Couldn't detect any insects or something similar. Who can help me and my Serissa? Is expecially my method of watering and fertilizing OK? Best greetings and thanks in advance, Manfred P.S.: Can send photos on e-mail request, if helpful... |

[IBC] Need Serissa help - yellow leaves, black tips
Hello friends,
Approx. 6 weeks ago, I bought a 20 years old Serissa. Our problem: Since 1 week some leaves become completely yellow and fall off. Some leaves - up to now less than 10 - get black tips. Your Serissa is fine. The yellow leaves are normal for a Serissa that has been moved from one place to another. I suggest you simply remove the leaves with black tips. It's getting toward late summer now, and tree leaves are getting old -- even "evergreens." How I took care so far: Water: Every 2nd day as much as it drips out of the pan a little bit. It is best if you do NOT water on a set schedule. Water when the soil feels dry, though from what I've read about Serissa since becoming the owner of one they like lots of water. (I've not been following my own advice, and have kept my little tree in a saucer of water. HOWEVER, mine is outdoors in 95-degree weather!) Fertilizer: Once a week Floragard Bonsai fertilizer (dosis as indicated 3 ml for 2 l water, but not every 2nd day as indicated). That is very sensible. A tablespoon per gallon of water weekly is fine. Position: Very bright with no direct sun, currently at around 26 degree C. I assume it is indoors????? If you can keep it outdoors, it will be happier. Bring it in when temperatures reach about 40F or about 10 C. Serissa are much tougher than most books indicate as far as temperatures go, and PROBABLY could take lower temps, but no sense tempting fate. Be prepared to lose leaves when you move it inside -- or outside again in the spring. Cutting: Some days ago the first time. Had some new branches, looking OK. More indications that it is OK. Couldn't detect any insects or something similar. Who can help me and my Serissa? Is expecially my method of watering and fertilizing OK? I don't think you NEED help. :-) You tree seems to be quite healthy to me. Best greetings and thanks in advance, Manfred P.S.: Can send photos on e-mail request, if helpful... We don't take photos on the news group or mailing list, but we DO have a gallery at www.internetbonsaiclub.org where you can post pictures of your tree. You will have to register (free!!!) to post a picture. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Wondering . .. . this is the second newly-purchased Serissa in a couple of weeks that has come with the claim to be "20 years old." Must be standard sales pitch. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
