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?


when very young greenish shots otherwise the wood chip


thanks alot.
Also, some of the leaves seem to be going wrinkly, some dirty coloured,
is that a sign of over/under watering?
