SERISSA FOETIDA Poorly
Hello
Can anyone help me, I have just purchased a SERISSA FOETIDA and it looked great until I brought it home. At the moment it is 37 degrees here in Budapest and I am worried that she cannot handle the heat. As the days go by more of her leaves are turning yellow and falling. She is still flowering a little but I am concerned that I am doing something wrong. I water her daily and spray the leaves, Can anyone give me any tips? |

Water when the soil feels dry a half inch or so under the surface. (You can test this by keeping a stick jammed into the soil about 1/2 way between trunk and pot. Remove it daily and feel the dirty end; if it is damp do NOT water!) Serissa are notorious for yellow and dropping leaves. But they are very tough. Just do not overwater. Spraying the leaves does nothing. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Nature encourages no looseness, pardons no errors.
