Serissa phoetida. Bonsai 8 years. Tree of a Thousand Stars or Snow rose. The so-called indoor trees are mostly trees from tropical origins, that do not support low temperatures. We must place them indoors, always close to a source of natural light. The Serissa is an evergreen shrub. It is also known as the Tree of a Thousand Stars due to the number of tiny white flowers that blossom during the summer season.
Location: Ideally in a Mediterranean climate, outside in the sunshine during summer. In colder climates always protect from very low temperatures and avoid freezing.
Watering: Watering should be moderate. Excess watering can cause yellowing and dropping of leaves.
Curiosities: When you prune the tree a nauseous smell is emitted, especially from the roots, giving the name of phoetida, fetid.

This can be done throughout the year. The Serissa responds well to radical pruning and will bud back even in old wood. Eliminate unwanted suckers growing from the base of the trunk. Once the tree has grown four pairs of leaves remove two of the pairs using tweezers.
