They are in a east facing window, indoors, with grow lights on 12 hours a day. I live in southern New York, on Long Island. These 3 plants share a tray. After a repotting, they had lost pretty much all of their leaves. Now, on some of these dead branches SOME leaves have grown. Still a lot of 'dead' branches. What should I do?

It may take some warm weather to bring on a new flush of growth. A shot of half-strength houseplant fertilizer might be a help. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

The only advise I have for you on serissa is that if you are in a cool winter area, try repotting in the warmer months during the blooming period. I realize that may not be much help just now!
