The tree has been moved indoors:

After a few days indoors no leaves have dropped or shown signs of discoloration, so fingers crossed it keeps pushing out new growth

Roots have sprouted from the cut site of that old root:

Now that was very fast!

Its amazing how some trees respond so fast

Very true Olive.

Nice one Ryan, those roots have grown quickly in the last four days!
Cheers, Dario.

This guy is now dropping some interesting colored leaves. I took some of the leaves into my local nursery where they looked at them under a microscope. They told me they noticed fungal spores and recommended an anti fungal to me, which I bought. Guess I'll have to spray this one down now....

Thankfully the tree is still pushing growth....

Leaf drop has appeared to stop

The roots are looking good, but I'm not sure how exactly to separate them from the moss....?

The moss will eventully decompose and fall out itself.
Or else you can remove each piece with tweezers if you are keen

Good to hear re the leaf drop too. this will be a nice tree in a few years too

Thanks Ken!


It's actually started dropping leaves yet again . This time, however, I know why. It's due to spider mites, which I'm having a whale of a time controlling. I've heard of people using straight, undiluted, rubbing alcohol on their plants for control of the mites, so I may give that a try.
