Comments (5)Just looks like salt burn from a build-up of salts from your fertilizer combined with a heavy slow draining potting mix. I am not a container guy; but some here will give you better advice. BTW your tree looks fine... don't stress... few leaves are perfect....See MoreMeyer Lemon, yellow leaf tips
Comments (2)It looks like mild biuret toxicity -- not bad. Biuret is a contaminant of fertilizers that have at least part of their nitrogen in the form of urea. It is a byproduct of the manufacturing process. Most house plants are fairly tolerant, but citrus, more than most, is affected. You might try switching to a different fertilizer manufacturer, or even find a formula that does not contain urea, although there is nothing wrong with urea if the biuret has been removed. In the mean time, this is likely the only symptom you'll see, and it has been our experience that the trees continue to grow just fine....See MoreOsmanthus Fragrans leaf tip turned brown
Comments (25)I bought a one-gallon Fudingzu from Nurcar this spring. It grew right along over the summer. It responds to misting with new growth. Repeat, it responds to misting with new growth. I moved it to the front porch while my deck was being renovated, and neglected the watering. Leaves turned brown at the tips. Moved it back, resumed watering (and misting with the hose several times a day). It resumed new growth after several weeks. Left it outside til temps were threatening to go below 20, then moved it into the garage, which stays app 10 degrees warmer. Again, let it get too dry, since it was cold and dark out there. With the recent dip in temperature, finally brought it indoors to a sunny west window. Dropped a lot of leaves (too dry), but not all. It still has a nice form and plenty of leaves. Within a couple of weeks, set literally dozens and dozens and more dozens of buds, which are now opening. Butterfly's advice to flush salts out of the pot is very good. Osmanthus are said to react poorly to buildup of fertilizer salts. If you want new growth on your Osmanthus, please follow Mike's and my advice: mist the branches. Outdoors, you can just mist with the hose several times a day, til the branches drip. Indoors, maybe you can water it in the shower or tub, spraying the branches all over. I'm not sure why misting works so well with Osmanthus (I do it to my other potted plants outdoors as well). Maybe the humidity in its native habitat. But make sure, this really does work....See MoreMeyer lemon leaf browning
Comments (3)Ok, interesting. We had spider mites a month or two ago but killed them all and haven't seen any since. Maybe the leaves were just showing the problem later? Do you know if that's normal?...See More- 6 years ago
