Hello Everyone!!! Just wanted to come over and say hi to to all and make a few comments.. I did as you said mbntn74 and came back to read as if I was a " newbie"... Here is my take on the matter... We welcome all type of new people and we love the enthusiasm that they bring to the forums as well. Most of us come here to relax and post when we can and offer help when it's possible ( I work a lot of long crazy hours) so when I do read or post it's a way to relax. You initial post was a kind post with a lot of questions that asked things like " exactly". Sometimes it takes time to figure out what, when , where and how a new plant will react to your house . It depends on where its located, is it near heat? Ac vents? A southern Window? So many things to think about before you start to ask about how do I take this beautiful tree and give it a major overhaul before I know why I need too! Al was just trying to help you with links to guide you in a direction so it would be more helpful so that you can make the decisions for your own tree. He is very knowledgeable in most house plants issues and can point you to the information that you are inquiring about. Sometimes it might seem like others want one person to make up their own minds for them on soil, water, container, and mix before they really understand what's available and why you should pick the right one for you.. He really is a very patient person who helps so many people. Al has taught me so many different ways on growing, repotting and the overall care that I have learned to make my trees healthier. It took time to learn and it doesn't come on the tree ( tag instructions) for us... I hope you will go back and you reread this thread and see where Al was trying to send you so you could sit back and understand things before you take your beautiful tree that you have and start in on it without knowing why or what you are trying to gain. We really enjoy having all of our friends make offerings to help us when we have questions.. So I hope that you understand what I'm trying to explain to you. Good luck to you and your new trees! They are beautiful and I'm sure you will find what you are looking for once you spend a few minutes reading some great informative post that will help you and most importantly, help the overall health of your new trees!!! Perched water does exist and I have seen it in containers from long ago up until now with my mixes. Using a good fast draining mix makes it much less, but you will always have a little.. Just tilt your pot!!! Great points ronalawn!!! Great thread.. Hope I helped in some small way!! Thank you Al for all you do!!! I have learned so much from you and I will say that I'll always be learning ... It just doesn't end!!! Happy Gardening to you all... Laura

It's growing sparse because it isn't getting enough light. They need as much light as you can give them. Such as direct sunlight in a southern facing window. Right up in front of the window, not a few feet away. When you moved it, you probably moved it into a location with less light, hence the leaf drop. They really don't like to be moved around, if you can avoid it. Putting it outside next summer when the nighttime temps are above 60° will definitely fill it out. Pruning will also increase back budding.

A - Help forthcoming if you do your part by providing us a picture. Al

Nothing that should be seen as concerning jumps out at you when you look them over - some very minor mechanical injury from getting banged around while they were handled at the greenhouse, some evidence of over-watering in the past, and it looks like maybe a bit of an adverse reaction to something applied (insecticide, fungicide, ......) in the past. They want warm temps 70-80*, moist but never wet or soggy soil, and all the light you can give them, during the winter especially. If you do decide to put them in full sun, make sure you take a little time to try to acclimate the leaves to the new site over a week or two. Best to move them to a full sun position at the onset of a stretch of cloudy days. Would you describe yourself as an experienced grower, or are you just getting started? Al
