Help: Drying leaves on Acacia Howitii ' Green Wave'
Posted: August 29th, 2014, 9:20 am
I've got an Acacia Howitii 'Green Wave' which I potted 4x weeks ago.
I purchased this from the Sydney Wildflower Nursery, and it looked like a very healthy young plant.
The problem is that I've noticed the leaves have gradually started to appear wilted and drying out with a more pale green colour.
I'm suspecting this may be because I'm not wetting the leaves at all, and I'll be going out this weekend to get a little hair spray bottle which I believe may help.
Has anyone got any tips?
A little background info:
I'm treating the much the same as all other trees I have, by ensuring to keep the soil moist with regular watering when required (Lately 1-3 times a week).
I live in Sydney (Marrickville) and my Bonsai's are positioned on a balcony facing South-East, which gets direct sun for a few hours in the morning, and indirect sun for the rest of the day.
I'm also using a humidity tray which I've heard helps their growth.
Since this photo, I've removed the pegs which was a tip I read somewhere to help create a dramatic weeping style.
I love this little tree, and I want to do my best to keep it alive and healthy.
