Question
I have a wonderful Ming Aralia, which was, until about a week or so ago, quite healthy. I admit that I can become over-attentive to my house plants at times, and given it's past vigor, I thought no harm would come from an extra watering (to flush out salts/deposits before fertilizing). To my dismay, the leaf stems on almost the entire tree were drooping by the next morning.

   I know Mings don't like 'wet feet' so I decided to let it dry out some and see if it would clear up. I used a copper soap fungicide (Concern brand) on the lower trunk letting it seep into the soil and into the roots, as well as the leaves and stems. I made sure that a lot of it seeped into and immediately surrounding the root-ball, which, after days seemed to have no effect, at least none which I could note.

   As the plant worsened, I decided to remove it from the soil it was in and re-pot it in better-draining, sterile soil. After a few days, and with the plant looking worse, (almost all leaves deteriorating rapidly), I took an emergency step and re-potted in a high peat content, well -draining, 'seed-starter' soil. I gently removed the damp roots, and found the soil around them heavy and caked-on, really saturated but not 'muck' like swamp mud or something.

Answer
Micah,
You are correct, your full question did not get to me. However I am not familiar with that product. I did look it up on Google and it does look very interesting. I hope it helps your plant. Let me know how it does. You can email me at my private email, [email protected] anytime. Good luck!
