That looks terrible J-C, I think you have too much water around the plant it does not need the water tray underneath. The light unfortuntely is also terrible for viewing.
There is plenty of green in the leaves so I think it will survive. But ease up on the water,
Cheers Pup

Re: Callistemon - health
From what I can see with the pictures I would say yes. Less water I recommend some Vitamin B solution. I am not sure what is available in Germany, the tree needs a tonicJ-C wrote:Thanks for the advice ... so it almost drowned ...
We use seasol here in Australia it is a seaweed formula not fertiliser.
When plants are indoors the water requirements are a lot less than when they are outside. In a lot of cases once per month is enough. Checking it every day is very wise, that way you can tell if it is still wet or too dry.
Keep us posted, I am interested in this tree.
Regards Pup

J-C it is also good for Hangovers a bit like when you buy a syringe for injecting your airlayersJ-C wrote:Thanks a lot ... i'll keep you updated.
