Introduction

Snow Rose is appreciated for delicate foliage, fine branching and its occasional display of small flowers. The broom-style canopy creates a balanced miniature-tree silhouette. It is supplied in an approximately 20cm pot.

About this bonsai

Serissa can react to sudden environmental changes with leaf drop. A steady position and careful watering are more useful than frequent relocation. Flowering and leaf variegation depend on the actual variety and conditions.

Position & light

Choose a bright position with good airflow, protected from cold draughts and heating. A sheltered outdoor place may suit settled warm weather, but acclimatise gradually and avoid abrupt changes.

Watering

Keep the root ball lightly moist, watering thoroughly as the surface starts to dry. Drain well and avoid both drought and prolonged saturation.

Feeding & pruning

Feed at the appropriate dilution during active growth. Trim gently to maintain the shape, and delay major pruning or root work if the tree is stressed or still adjusting after delivery.

Winter care

Provide bright, cool, frost-free conditions. Monitor moisture as growth slows and do not assume that an unheated greenhouse will remain above freezing.
