#1: SERISSA FOETIDA Poorly

Posted on 2005-07-30 19:26:47 by jamie

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?

Yes. STOP watering daily! 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.
