Dimitrios:
Serissa like a cooler temperature, however they also like to almost dry
out before the next watering... There realy shouldn't be a watering
pattern. You only water when the soil is just on the dry side. Try
placing a wooden or amboo skewer into the soil and check it every day.
Water only when the skewer feels damp to dry.

My favorite plant for the beginner is the Ficus Retusa. This is
strictly a personal thing, since I have read Ficus Benjamina or the
Ficus Nerifolia are excellent.

Good luck,

Hi again,

seems like I am establishing an interactive
relationship between myself and my Serissa.
I have determined a watering pattern and new leaves
come out every day.

However, I do get a few yellow leaves every now and
then. Could that be a problem ?
From all the info I have read on Serissas, yellow
leaves could be due to underwatering, overwatering,
change of position, or even a natural process that
shouldn't worry me.
Confusing ? it is to me.

Finally, which in your opinion, is the easiest Bonsai
for a beginner to grow? by that I mean a Bonsai with
low requirements that can accept the mistakes of a
beginner especially in watering and lighting.

thanks again for your help
Dimitris.
