Snow Rose Issues

16 years ago

Hi guys, I'm new around these neck of the woods, so bare with me.

I have a bonsai garden with a ficus and a snow rose, the ficus is going great, explosion of growth. The snow rose seems to be wilting and I'm not sure why. I was wondering if it would be worth removing the leaves from the rose in hopes of helping it recover?

Any suggestions on what I should be doing to help revitalize it?

Hi Sean, well your 'rose' is actually a Serissa (probably S. foetida) and is not a rose at all. You haven't given any info at all about where it's growing (in/out, what climate, how much sun when(daily), what kind of soil it's in and how often you water, and how do you do it? Without those, it's pretty hard to say anything. Don't cut anything on a plant under stress. You say you have a bonsai garden - can you describe what you mean a bit more?
