I'm desperately looking for some help to save my little congo cockatoo.
I got it a couple of months ago from a nursery and since then, it's been plagued by bad luck. My mother had one when I was younger and I just don't remember it being at all difficult or having to go through as many trials as this has.
First I think it got aphids, which I treated and it appeared to come back to life with some, albeit slow, growth. The leaves however were a little discoloured, almost slightly mottled and not as lush green as I would have expected. But, it seemed okay for a few weeks.
In the last few days however it has gone from bad to worse. The leaves have wilted completely - turning a yellowish brown, shrivelling and almost looking like they were moulding.
My boyfriend, thought it could have been it may have been getting too much light by the window and a cold draught, so I moved it, but that seems to have seen it deteriorate even more.I've kept it indoors, in reasonably levels of light and warm. It hasn't been over watered, but it may have dried out a little the other day.
I've just repotted it, as a sort of last ditch attempt incase the soil was too wet. Does any one have any ideas? I genuinely can't seem to do anything right and I really want this little guy to flourish.
Does any one have any experience with Impatiens niamniamensis and think they could help?
Thanks so much in advance,
Ellie
