Hi there!
I live in Toronto and I'm quite a newbie when it comes to rearing the green guys. A couple years ago I purchased a Ficus and with help from sites like this I kept it alive for 3 years. It would still be alive right now, but a friend over watered
Anyway, that was the first plant I prevented from dying! Perhaps a bit too confident I bought over $100 worth of plants (on sale too!) and now I'm starting to worry.
The Fragrant Olive that I bought in Oct is starting to have browning on the tips of the leaves, the flowers have all died and there are is white spotting under some of the leaves. There seems to be new flowers sprouting, but they seem to die immediately.
The tree is in a south facing window with full access to direct west light as well. The room is about 67 - 69 degrees (currently).
The card says to water when the top 3" of soil are dry. It's actually hard to stick my finger in that far, so I'm just guessing. It tends to be about 2-3 times per week. But, due to my fear of overwatering, I'm not really sure if I'm watering enough. Should I be letting the water trickle out the bottom to know I've watered enough? (I haven't been doing that)
The card said something about fertilizing so mid Oct I put a couple Micracle Grow 6-12-6 Foodspikes (I know nothing about this stuff, have no idea if it was a good idea to do!)
Lastly, I just noticed some leaves had scary webbing on them, I cleaned it away with soapy water.
Anyone can help out?
