Serissas sure are tough to grow, but you live in an area where they might be able to do well outside. Mine live outside, and our climate is probably similar. It never gets very cold, never freezes here. They don't seem to mind heat if they have shade, or dappled shade under a large tree. Personally, I think that it is their roots which are hard to keep happy.

Yours looks like it is in a very organic soil, which holds a lot of moisture. That will make it easy for the tree to get root rot. Maybe someone can come on and tell us a good soil mix for serissas in Mediterranean weather, or do you have a good mix, Fanis?
