calamonden problems


Question
Last August I bought 4 calamonden trees.  They grew well as indoor plants for quite a while. In February, one of the trees lost all of its leaves and just died.  This spring, another tree did the same thing. The brances turn brown and the plant just dies.  I have two left; one is starting to do the same thing. A branch turns brown and the leaves fall off.  I'd hate to loose them all!  Any suggestions?  They were all healthy plants untill this started happening.
Thanks!

Answer
Hi David,   I have a feeling it is a watering issue.  If it is in a container with a tray under it to catch the water and you do not remove the water after 15 minutes you will drown your plant.  If it has been moved up to a larger container water mainly around the outside of the pot as it dries from the outside in and you could be drowning your plant.  Use a slow release fertilizer as the wrong fertilizer can harm your plant.  Yellow leaves not enough water and black tips too much water.  Hope some of these suggestions help.  kathy
