Got carried away with the seasons greetings and forgot
to tell you the necessary information

Well, it is a Serissa that was repotted last May.
Since then it has stayed outside, mostly in shade but
occasionally under a strong summer sun.
The dry tips started to appear at the beginning of
October.
I have never used any fertilizer to feed the tree and
I water it every time the soil (1 cm depth) just
starts to become dry.

It has not lost any leaves (apart from the usual 2-3
every day).
I think it is important to tell you that the climate
in Greece is quite dry. It seems to me that spraying
the tree's leaves is equally important as watering it.

Maybe I have found out (the hard way) that Serissas
need a lot of humidity to survive and a constant moist
environment.
