Hello yall,
I recently bought an older nana procumbens from a wonderful fellow down in San Diego about 2 weeks ago. The tree is fairly big, about 40 inches tall and in informal upright style. I believe the fellow had repotted the day before I picked it up and he advised me to keep it away from direct sun for 3 weeks (which I am doing so). The lower branches seem to be sick; they're pale, slightly yellow, and have browned tips. They've been like this ever since I got the tree and I was wondering what's happening to it. The lower branches are affected the most, the middle branches show some brown tips too, and the apex is completely healthy. Is this some case of spider mites or fungal infection?
Up to this point, I've done very little to the tree besides clean up dead foliage and light pruning. I have not yet added fertilizer or vitamins since the tree was repotted recently, and it has been kept in shade for 2 weeks now.
I would greatly appreciate any input from anyone, thanks!
