My serrissa is dropping lots of leaves And not flowering anymore. I live in the northwest, the tree is on a south facing windowsill. I water once daily sometimes twice. The tree has ants coming and going from the soil and I was wondering if that could be the culprit but I’m not sure. Any help would be much appreciated and I thank you for your time

You could put the pot in a saucer or other dish, raised up by pebbles, and put enough water in the dish to block the ants. You want the pot to be out of the water enough that the soil does not soak up the water and rot the leaves. You also want to look at the water for mosquito larvae and dump them out.

Some leaves shriveled & brown while still attached to the tree. Serissas don’t like to be wet at night. I think you just need to change your watering regime.
Ivan’s solution much more graceful, but double sided tape around the pot effective against ants also. (They won’t harm, their pets do)
