Why is my tea tree leaves dry out and crispy? #ManukaOrTeaTree
-
I think he’s dying 😭 Hi! I bought this New Zealand Tea Trea in March 20th. It was lush and beautiful and only had a small branch that was dry (and which I promptly cut). Some days went by and it started looking a bit crunchier. Since it rained everyday I wasn’t in a rush to repot it, although I could already guess it was rootbound. As it turns out, about a week ago when I repotted it I saw it was INSANELY rootbound. My mom opened up the roots and we put it in its new medium. Now it’s just getting drier and drier, crispier and crispier. It’s even starting to turn a yellowish kinda green. What can I do? Any tips? I’m so sad about it. :(((
