Troubleshooting
Leaves are turning yellow.
This could be due to overwatering or underwatering. Adjust your watering schedule to ensure the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check for potential root rot.
Leaves are falling off.
This could be due to a change in environment, temperature shock, or pest infestation. Ensure the tree is in a stable environment and check for pests. If you suspect pests, treat the tree accordingly. Provide adequate water.
The tree is not growing.
This could be due to insufficient sunlight, lack of nutrients, or root bound. Relocate the tree to a location with better light, fertilize during the growing season, and consider repotting.
