if you can make a Cold shelter like a Cardboard box put it inside
and cover with Transparent plastic to make a sort of show window case
Serissa should live actually between -5 to+ 14 ° Celsius degress no
more in the winther time I mean -- Put the pot inside a box filled
with peat to protect from hard winter cold or if she has lost most of
leaves you can put it even in a dark cold room like a garage or in the
basement
keep the soil moist but not soggy
will sprout again


It seems that it is almost gone. Are you suggesting that if I put it
in near a window, where it is colder, and cover it with a cardboard
box on all sides, thus making it dark, that it will sprout again in
May when summer weather returns? I don't have a basement or a garage.

well if you keep it inside the apt behind a window glasspanel and
put a cardboard box around you built up a cold green house and it
is ok !
from the open side facing theh window pane will receive ligh be
careful that temps does not go under -5 :-).. you are in Canada !
let the soil dry at 80% before water again so it might take 5
days to one week probably , and spry some water on the leaves .. and
leave it quiet
If the soil is one of the woirst kind teh cardboard one browniswsh
make little holes with a tootpick to let water permeate it .. and
as soon as the season allows it change the soil
