Default Advice: Bonsai Care

Hi, I just wanted to run this by you and get any advice.

Last week I bought a Bonsai, a Serissa Foetida. Ive read that they are
very fussy about light and temp. At the moment, I move the tree into my
west facing window during the day for light, and move it onto my shelf
(in the same room) during the night, as the temperature outside is
dropping to about -5c now (UK).
I mist the tree in the morning and evening, about 5 pumps worth :P, also
the windows often produce condensation so the atmosphere doesnt appear
to be dry. I water the tree twice a week with about 1/2 a glass of water.

The tree is apx 7" from dirt to tip in a ceramic pot 2" deep, 8" long
and 5" wide.

The leaves are currently a nice green, although some have light black
marks appearing. About 2-5 leaves yellow and fall a day.

Any advice or tips you have would be greatfully recieved.

Also, does anyone have a good resource on how to wire them?

thx
