| I have a 7 year old Ming Aralia. It has always grown beautifuly and I have never had any problems with it. A couple of months ago it started dropping a few leaves, more that usual turning yellow and dropping. I thought that maybe it needed to be repotted with a little bit of fresh soil. I kept it in the same pot because the roots were not crowded and there was still plenty of growing room (a 6"). It seemed to be doing a little better, but now it has started dropping leaves again (today). I love my plant, as I do them all, and would hate to lose it. Please help!! |

Well...Did you suddenly move it in a new location?
These trees are known to "Shatter" for no damn reason except winds or moving it as in upseting it by moving it it will shatter.... I adore mine I collect them and everytime I move them they shatter..;'" |

Good news! I figured out what was wrong with my ming!
It was in front of a mostly sunny window and was doing great, but then spring came around and I turned on my A.C. The ming had been getting a draft from a vent in the ceiling! It progressed to looking really bad.. one whole side was almost bare, with the other side still full. I moved it to another place and now it seems much happier. There is some new growth on it and it has not dropped any more leaves.
I guess the draft caused the plant to "shatter". Interesting, I had not known they do that! Thanks for the info!
