bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Pink Flowering Serissa needs help

Hi there bonsai lovers!

I also have a serissa foetida. My tree flourished and bloomed very well. Last week I missed one day of watering it and the leaves went a darkish green and obviously all the flowers died. Now, I don't water it every day, I am use to its needs and everything was fine up and till I missed one day.

Now, for some reason - being the fussy serissa it is - it doesn't want to go back to normal.... It has only been a week or so but my serissa is not looking better. Am I too impatient? Will it come right? I feel hopeless and sad.

I have done the scratch test, onto the bark and it is infact green - which means my tree is still alive. But how long must I wait for it to return back to normal and will it in fact return back to normal?

Please help!
