General Care : The Serissa is an indoor plant. It needs as much light as possible and should be kept in a well-aired area where there is plenty of light and a temperature between 13-18 degrees C (55-65 degrees F). It should be kept away from drafts and kept outside during the summer in partial shade.

It can be an indoor plant, but it needs growth lights to maintain its structure if it doesn't get any sun.

I am not possitive, but I think that it needs sun.

Mostly used outside for borders and such. It is a native of Sub Tropical climates. Must be careful with the watering of the plant, it's very sensitive the weather changes as well.

Serissa foetida is technically a shrub and is native to SE Asia. It is rated to USDA Z9. So, if you are in zone 9 or higher, it will be fine outdoors. If you are in a lower zone, then it will die in winter.
Serissa foetida enjoys partial shade when grown outdoors. If you are going to keep it inside, be sure it gets AT LEAST a half day of sun.
It's a great bonsai plant because of the small leaf size and it responds well to pruning. It has cute little flowers when in bloom.
Here is a link with some growing tips. I hope it's helpful to you. Best of luck.
