Hi Guys,

I got a chinese mayflower (serissa) in February last year - it was a
valentines day gift from my man
Anyhow - neither of us knew how to take care of Bonsais at that point,
so we made it all up as we went along..

The bonsai (according to the nursery) was 5 years old.
Anyhow, we made a mistake of puting it outside in the sun one day -
little did we know that its leaves were not strong enough to handle the
sun. Low and behold - we got home that afternoon to see every little
leaf singed and dry because of the sun
Not too long after that, it was winter time, so I guess the tree may
have also gone dormant.. who knows..
Anyhow - its now springtime here (Johannesburg, South Africa) - We have
now repotted the bonsai into a bigger pot, as we saw that the soil was
hard and stale in the other tiny pot. The bonsai is now in bonsai soil
- which we got from the nursery. its in one of those pots that has
stacks of holes in it, so that you can never over-water the bonsai.
These pots have actually worked really well for our baby bonsai's which
we grew from seeds..

Anyhow - sorry to ramble - do you think that there is still a chance of
saving this bonsai? What should I be doing now?
