I should warn you all that compost can kill your potted wax apple. The leaves of my wax apple suddenly became yellow 2 days after putting a thin layer of compost on the surface. I used Ecoscraps no-poop compost: http://ecoscraps.com/shop/product/ecoscraps-compost-mix-8-quarts/ . I'm hoping my tree can survive. These are my observations on how that compost affected my trees. - Sweetheart Lychee was unaffected by compost. - Sunshine Blueberry spread out its canopy more. - Wonderful Pomegranate also got yellow leaves. - Multi-grafted Cherry tree grew more leaves. - Prime Ark Blackberry started darkening its berries. - Fall Gold Raspberry is unaffected. - Goji Berry is unaffected. - Apache Blackberry grew a tad bit taller.

Hello Tealgarden, I have a couple of Wax Jambus too and I wouldn't worry about what you are seeing. I would say it is either from transplant shock or the cold weather. Both of mine are like 4'-5' feet tall and lose almost all their leaves each year due to the cold. The turn brown, get that same dried up look and spotting, and then fall off. However, they are extremely resilient plants, probably the most resilient plants I have and always bounce back every spring with more leaves, flowers, and fruit than the year before. I think your plants are just fine and will bounce back. Keep them out of full sun for the time being while they are recovering/adjusting. You should see tons of new leaves within the next couple of weeks as the weather warms. - Jacob

I think the plant may be a little "weak" during the winter months. The air is also drier during this time. Since these tropical plants thrive in warm and moist weather, I'm wondering if it's due to lack of hydration. You might also want to hold back on your fertilizer since during the Winter months, they are kind of dormant and not growing new leaves so they do not need that much fert. If I were you, I would remove the dried up leaves, or almost dried up leaves and if the tips of branches look droopy, snip the ends off to promote new growth. Then watch it closely. I also own a wax jumbo which I bought last year. It's now in the pot and its leaves look ok hough not as green as in the Summer. I would suggest not to let it dry out for too long. As soon as it feels dry on the surface, try to water it again and give it plenty of sun. As to infestation, unless you see leave spots or leaves being munched away, it's hard to know what it is that is bothering it. With the warmer Spring weather around, it should bring some hope to your plant that it will do better. All the best.
