Hello everyone!

I am a b-e-g-i-n-n-e-r to bonsai. I am interested in growing Snow Rose,
Serissa from seeds. I did some research and found that it is hardy to
Zone 9 (USDA), so then will it be hardy to Zone 25 (Sunset)?

Also, is the Serissa recommended for beginners? I read that the Elm and
Ficus are better for starters.

Thanks alot for you guys help!

do not worry when you run into a serissa take a twig and

put it in soft soil, keep it moist , it will root easily
in any season I did 7 cuttings for experiement in different
periods ..all worked
serissa is a tropical( as Iris said) that loves and
withstand cold mine survived twice this year to -6° celsious
is grown in zone 7 all year round outside less u care
for her the better

Cool, I read somewhere that it was a temperamental plant.

Thanks for the advance! :-D

it is as easy as Punica Granatum.. jest keep her in a
luminous or half sunny place well ventilated a good draining
soil with organic compound ( I use coarse sequoia bark
cut in small cubes and previously steam sterilized in the
microwave) )
loves cold

a lot of gibberish!!
someone said is a tropical & temperamental and everybody
followed his statement

need not to be over babysitted as most of newbieds do with
*baby bonsai*
this second lot ( of serissa cuttings) I have
progress wonderfully , it is their second winther outside
zone 7 and ice
no special treatement just water fertilize and let her live
undisturbed
