I really think the overwatering.
I am going to try one more in the spring and any tips are greatly appreciated.

If mine ends up not making it, I too will totally try another. I really like the leaves and flowers and wouldn’t want to give up on such a nice species…

Looking back, next time I’ll probably get a grow tent to better control the conditions and change the soil so it’s a lot better draining, along with a more porous pot. I started to raise humidity two weeks ago to try to get more growth. Seems like that was the nail in the coffin because it might have made the soil dry out a lot slower, keeping the bottom of the pot constantly wet. A better soil and pot would probably prevent that.

Its a little bit late maybe but for others helpfull.
I‘m in loose contact with an indonesian farmer. For wrightia they use black lava sand mixed with 10 % compost and water daily . I have one too and use this recipe and never had problems.

So, I got one yesterday. It's a bit chlorotic. I will repot it in a bit, we are having cool and wet weather now and I want to wait for a warm up.
This is my 3rd and final one.
I have no troubles with them in summer, but so far killed two in two consecutive winters.
@hagmanma
Can you share how do you keep yours in winter, please?

Nice tree Kate!
I do the following: as soon temperature goes below 68f/20c i move the tree inside.
In the house i have a 250w led growlight.
But i run it at low level. All my tropicals are under this light from autumn until late spring. Wrightia needs light if you keep it indoor. In the house the temperature is about 71f/22c. Humidity should be over 50%. If needed i have a little indoor greenhouse to raise humidity. Like this i never have problems.

So sorry to hear that. My Water Jasmine seem to be the least bothered by overwintering indoors. I have full spectrum grow lights, nothing fancy and they get some light from the bank of windows they sit behind. I usually have to trim them a couple of times each winter. What is your overwintering situation?
@hagmanma
Could you tell me what size are the black lave sand particles you use?
If I estimate correctly by looking at the pic in your post it's about 1/4 inch? 6 mm or about that?
Thanks, Kate.

Hi it is 2 - 4 mm. On top you see some organic material for the moss…
Thank you. Getting ready to repot my new one. Trying to get it right.
