Does anyone know how to help my Avocado Tree?
Hello fellow plant lovers! I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions on how to help my Avocado Tree.🪴Lately his leaf has dried out & he’s drooping to one side. Im not sure if I haven’t watered him enough, or maybe I should give him more light? Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated!

Oh no! Lil sad cactus! 🙈 Alright, so I’m growing 4-5 (I’d have to go look) 👀 but my point is I’ve got a few! I started out with some young ones and I’ve honestly killed a few as well as lost all my leaves… so long story; not short. - I’ve been here. 🤣. So avocados, 🥑 love bright indirect light. They can handle the heavier afternoon sunlight when they get a little older. Right now, with its size, we want to hinder it with caution. ⛔️ So in spring and summer, they will like to be fed a little more… so the fishy poops, the kelp, a good cal-mag, and humic acid and/or a good silica acid (if you prefer that route). So that’s watering and feeding. So potting and soil, you really want to give these guys a little of a blend, hydrating but airy. So I would recommend a good coir with some orchid bark mix, bark, and chunky perlite. You want to make sure it’s got some good draining soil. Even add some horticulture charcoal and then feed about once a month in the growing season. Make sure you have a pebble tray or a humidifier nearby. These guys will grow better with it. Then just remember to water around the edges so the plant roots grow to the sides and out, promoting healthier growth and a more solid base to support its fruiting 😉 Please feel free to ask any questions, and I’ll do my best to help. Or let me know if I didn’t make sense, and I’ll try to explain better.
Wow, thank you so much!😄This is all so helpful & I’ll get right on it! I do not have any orchid bark mix, bark, or chunky perlite in the soil at the moment. Would you recommend repotting it with that, or putting in on top of the existing soil? Thank you so much for your help!🪴
