The 'Tree of a Thousand Stars' is also known as the Chinese Snowrose or Serissa. Going on holidays is always a worrying time for collectors. Firstly your local Bonsai shop may have a tree holiday care service or you have a neighbour with green fingers. If not any of the above then see the following: I normally place the indoor trees on the draining board on capillary matting or a large tray with pebbles and some water. The trees sit on top of the stones. The location must be away from direct sunlight. With this I would use a drip watering system. One I have found very good is the '<a href="http://www.harrodhorticultural.com/HarrodSite/product/Greenhouse%20Equipment_Watering%20Equipment/GWT-007.htm" rel="nofollow">Big Drippa</a> from Harrod Horticulture. I'll put up an article with more details if that will help. Thanks for the question Paul Hi Detta
