Soooo, while attempting to clean the Vaseline from the wounds of ficus I used a cotton pad and some rubbing alcohol.
91%
91 freakin percent!!! I didn't think that alcohol was harmful to trees....... but after researching, now I know.
The cotton pads that I used were drenched and I'm positive excess rubbing alcohol seeped down into the roots.... Not to mention, immediately after I fertilized the tree pretty heavily with the blue juice. The tree was moved outside, and then back in for a freeze we had a few weeks ago.... And since its a ficus I did all of this right before I put the tree back outside, so were talking moving the tree around from location to location, which as we know is bad for ficus. AND its in a high wind high sunlight area!!
Needless to say, the tree is suffering.
I've been trying to "flush" the roots I removed most of the soil right at the nebari and have been just dousing it with water.....
Should I attempt a repot? dunk the pot and soak in a tub of water? Any suggestions?
