Default Advice: Bonsai Care

Nullcode wrote:
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).


That serissa are fussy is an urban legend bbut
true if kept inside home! in reality are very hardy

I made en exp that is still going on since 3
years , I have 7 cuttings
all rooted from sept onward
always stayed all year long winther and summer
outside zone 7 and all cuttings are vigorous and
flowering .. survived to two -5° C
kept inside developes a lot of small deseases ..
keep teh soil moist all the time not soggy and
mildly acidic




Any advice or tips you have would be greatfully recieved.

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