How do I prune the tree?

Troubleshooting

Leaves turning yellow

This can be due to overwatering, underwatering, or insufficient light. Check soil moisture, adjust watering schedule, and ensure the tree receives adequate bright, indirect light.

No flowers or berries appearing

Ensure the tree is receiving the correct amount of light and appropriate watering. Some species may require a specific dormancy period or age before flowering/fruiting.

Pests on leaves or branches

Inspect the tree regularly. Treat with an appropriate horticultural soap or insecticide, following product instructions. Ensure good air circulation.

Drooping leaves

This often indicates dehydration. Water the tree thoroughly and consider misting the leaves if the air is very dry.
