I just lost my Golden Chain tree baby (2 year old), it's leaves dried up and fell off... it was in a whisky barrel of Miracle Grow soil, I kept it watered/it didn't ever get bone dry... did that kill it? I didn't notice any bugs/fungus/or sign of disease. Now my Strawberry tree seems to be going down hill, it's also in a whisky barrel of Miracle Grow soil, kept watered/never getting bone dry. But it's leaves are drying out starting at the edges and then falling off... what am I doing wrong? They were both in full sun, maybe they can't take the sun?
My baby trees are dieing, help!
How large are the holes at the bottom of the barrel? When you say "never getting bone dry" are you talking about the top 2-3 inches of soil or are saying the surface never got bone dry? It seems very possible that you are overwatering. When a plant is overpotted, you have to be very careful not to overwater. Water remains in the soil until it either evaporates or roots absorb it.
