Help! My Tiger Bark has been steadily losing leaves for the last week or so. From what I can tell, there are two different ways the leaves are falling off of the tree. 1) Some leaves curl into themselves into a little tube vertically, gradually turn dark brown and ultimately fall off. 2) Some leaves turn a slightly lighter shade of green, and fall off but do not curl or crinkle. This tree was bought, repotted, and relocated on January 4th and then pruned and wired on January 5th. Since then, it's gotten 12-14 hours of light a day under a full spectrum LED and has been watered regularly when the soil is dry about an inch down. It's been misted each day with warm water and given a weak dose of fertilizer with every other watering.
So my questions are: What happened and will it survive? Did I give it too much at once? I have two other Tiger Barks that I care for similarly and they are thriving. One of which went through the same thing as this one. Could it be a fungal infection? I'm even more confused because it has healthy looking new growth... See pics below:
