Well i am a famed grower in Serissa, i have killed dozens of them !!
I cant post all the DONT'S on the site, it would take to long.
All i can say is, very careful with watering, not a lot of feed, and don't shift it about.
As far as sniffing the roots, wast of time, it will smell like rotting meat if you disturb them.
At the moment my latest project is a Mt Fuji, this has small variegated leaves that has a sort of waxy look about them, also i don't mist it, as soon as i see a flower, i cut it off, so far so good, another thing is, its in a 9 inch deep cascade pot, had it for over a year, which is good for me.
I have to say, there are more posts about them in bonsai forums. than any other tree/ shrub. Cheers.
