My little serissa is not doing very well, all the flowers wilted and now the leaves are falling off. I've been watering every two days and assuming that is still might be dried out I gave it a good soak yesterday but I didn't leave it in to long as I didn't know how long I should leave it submerged. Any ideas?

I have a couple of serissas myself but am by no means an expert, but you might consider that you are over watering as well.

Serissas do not like to dry out, but they also are not thrilled by over watering, as well. If your serissa is inside, you might not be getting the proper conditions and the soil might be staying too wet.

Just a thought.......

P.S. Are the leaves turning yellow before falling or just brown?

A read in the A-Z forum on Serissa may give you some pointers as to the reasons.
