eugenia topiary

Posted by cedardave (My Page) on

our eugenia topiary is about 2 feet tall, and has been in our home only about a month.It seems that many of the leaves are drying up and falling off. There is a fair bit of new growth coming, but the sudden loss of leaves concerns me. Is there something were doing wrong(too much/little water) or could it be the shock of being relocated? any suggestions would be appreciated

RE: eugenia topiary

It is typical of Eugenia to act as such when the soil is too dry, wet soil, cold air and lack of light. It is also possible that the plant was not receiving the best of care and just slowly deteriorated. Keep the plant in a good light location away from cold and heat source, provide high humidity and most importantly water well then let the soil partly dry out between watering. If the plant's root system is still healthy it should recover in a timely manner. Good luck!
