    The Serissa bonsai should be watered regularly, about 1-2 times per week. Always check the soil moisture before watering to prevent the roots from drowning. It is important to keep the plant consistently moist, but make sure the roots do not become too wet.

    The plant does not like direct bright sunlight and prefers a bright spot with indirect sunlight. Too much sun can cause damage to the leaves. It is better to place the plant in a spot where the light is filtered.

    Yes, as a houseplant, this plant purifies the air by absorbing harmful substances and converting them into oxygen. Regularly caring for and cleaning the plant will ensure that it remains optimally air-purifying.

  • Pruning this plant is best done in spring or summer. Remove dead or damaged branches and prune for a compact shape. Regularly trim the tips of the branches to promote growth.

    Give the plant regular water, make sure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

    The plant thrives best in well-draining potting soil that is rich in nutrients. Make sure the potting soil remains lightly moist, but not too wet. Use a potting soil specifically designed for indoor plants if possible.

    The plant needs plenty of bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. Place the plant near a window facing east or west for the best growth results. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

    The ideal temperature for this plant is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. Ensure that the plant is not exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. Place the plant in a location where the temperature is stable.
