Thanks.

My tree is definately a Carissa Grandiflora/Macrocarpa or Natal Plum, though younger than the one in the picture. I try not to over water it. A concern I have is that although it gets good light, the room maybe too cold to promote a healthy environment, since it is a tropical tree. The room may reach 70 degrees F in the day and 66 degrees F at night. In addition, it has been very cloud for some time.

I am thinking of getting some lights and a portable heater. If anyone has thoughts or advice, please forward.

Steve
