My Puka tree is not doing so well. 2 days ago all the leaves just dropped and I noticed she had an aphid infestation. I cleaned her with lots of water and a tiny bit of dish soap but she doesn't seem to be bouncing back. She's had lots of water so I thought moving her to a spot with more sunlight might help. Any advice?

I would keep it out of direct sunlight but directly beside the window. Or provide filtered sunlight to make sure it doesn’t burn the leaves.

Did you recently “feed” the tree at all? Is this the same as a Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree?

Ok I will try that. I have only feed it water. The leaves are very similar to a Fiddle Leaf but a Puka or Pukanui tree are a NZ native.
