Urgent help with dying Serissa foetida was created by xcelm00

Hello,

my Serissa foetida is probably starting to develop some kind of desease. Many leaves turn black and die. It seems it is spreading. I checked the roots for mold, but everything seems to be fine (also one thing worth mentioning - I got the bonsai for christmas 3 months ago and it developed nasty white mold, but it is gone now). 每日吃瓜 is facing south. It is currently winter in czech republic. Anyone knows what to do here?

Thanks for any advice - I would hate to see this tree die

It's a Variegata, more fragile than the regular ones.
Serissas are very sensitive to being moved, being too wet, and not having enough sun. Usually when unhappy they drop all its leaves, but new ones sprout.

Not bad tree for a gift taken from local shop. Find the brightest sun spot and put it there. You may take it out once spring gets warm temperatures and not cold nights. Soil looks odd to me, repotting could be in consider. I hope you save it, good luck.

i would probably stay away from re-potting until the tree is healthy. if the tree is not happy and you bring on the added stress from re-potting it might not end well. just a thought.

Agree. Dont rush to repot. Too much changes at once make stress for tree.
