Careful Luft, the flowers only last so long, turn brown, and fall off in the normal cycle with these. Putting it under a fishtank takes the air circulation away and you could find yourself in a fungus situation.

Serrissa have a reputation as a whimpy plant, I find this to be far from the truth, even to the point of ALL my Serrissa will get frosted. This year I kept some out with trees that got winter freeze protection on my 3 season breezeway( anywhere from 30 to 40 degrees F. all winter) and they are coming back just fine. Inside I do nothing special, they sit in an east facing basement window with a 2 lamp florescent fixture over all the trees, on time 12 to 16 hours a day. They are watered daily some less water some more depending on each trees needs that day. Humidity is the same as my house, the basement has some heat and from the few times I checked it usually about 65 degrees around the trees.

These are to me more of an almost temperate tree, hence get the subtropical lable, my advice is don't try to baby them, a tree in the condition of the one that started the thread should probably be let to dry down, then keep the soil just moist to see what happens.
