...So, does anyone have any insight as to what I'm doing wrong?
Should
I stop feeding my tree so much, or move it to sunnier climbs?
I'd
rather not remove it from my room - but if it's not going to
survive,
sobeit.


Three things:

1. It is a Serissa. WhenEVER they are moved to a new location,
they sulk, let their leaves turn brown and fall off, and
generally thumb their nose at you.

2. You are watering too much. ONLY water when the soil feels
dry. You can keep a wooden chop or match stick jammed in the
soil. Remove it every day at the same time and feel the dirty
end. If it feels damp, do NOT water. If it is dry, water.
Overwatering is the largest single cause of death for bonsai with
new owners.

3. A north window (especially a north window in the UK) will
never provide enough light. Even a south window may not give
enough. Others can advise as to fluorescents or other kinds of
grow lights. When temperatures outside stay about 40 degrees F
it will prefer being outdoors. I don't think your bedroom is
gonna be its preferred location.

4. (I know, I said 3) A bit of fertilizer (houseplant fertilizer
is fine) won't hurt, but don't overdo. Once every month or so is
probably OK.

Good luck -- and welcome to the (sometimes frustrating) world of
bonsai.
