Hi all,

So I have just purchased my self my first one. I have gone for a Serissa Foetida (Tree of a thousand stars).

I am planning to house this one indoors as I have read that is easily doable. The real question is should there be things I avoid etc?

I know its probably a lot to type out as I'm a newbie so any helpful links would be great if you can't type it all out.

Hopefully it arrives in about a week!

Thank you all for any help

Keeping a tree indoors ( there is no such thing as an indoor tree) is very difficult to impossible ( 99%of the help my tree is dying questions here on this forum come from people with so-called indoor trees)
If you want to start with an easy tree, buy a tree that is native where you live and keep it outdoors.

Keep it outdoors until weather is outside the tree's tolerance, then put it in a window where it gets sun many hours a day. Keep it away from any heat source that will dry it out. Watch carefully for bugs of any kind. Put a large dish u der it so you can water it and let water pour out of the hole in the bottom of the pot.

Thats great everyone thank you.

Last question as for when it comes indoors then I read it should not really go over 20C is that a must? or will I just need to up the watering if the heating is keeping the rooms at say 25C

Thank you

I see no reason why temps over 20c would be a problem

Probably more of an issue would be humidity. The warmer temperatures would lower humidity, particularly bad fir the tree if there us constant air motion.

Water it frequently.

Neither do I.
But...
My Serissa went dormant last summer and never came back from the land of Morpheus.
Dead.
A blessing in fact, as I was fed up with that iffy little thing.
