Mark233 said:I've had this guy for about 6 months. I got him from a local plant nursery that didn't treat him very well. When I got him his leaves were a little dark around the endges and pretty tough (not very bendable). He was outdoors under a large tree and looked like he was being over watered. Since then, he's been kept inside my apartment next to a fairly large window that revives some good indirect light throughout the day. He's been pretty dormant since I got him and hasn't seen much growth but I'm aware it's probably due to the time of season. Because of that I've avoided watering him too frequently. I do mist, not daily but pretty often and have fertilized only once in the last 6 months. Our apartment usually sits at around 50-55% humidity and ranges from about 65f-75f.
So, the issue I'm having.
He originally has darkness on his leaves, I trimmed some of that away per an article I read that said it wouldn't necessarily but the tree but could help it. the darkening in his leaves has come back and he's started to drop more leaves. Granted, the leaves that have dropped are pretty dark in themselves.
I need help, what can I do to make this guy happy? I've attached some pictures of his most recent dropped leaves and some of the dark spots on the tree. Anything helps. Thanks guys!
