Greetings,
We recently bought a BRT from a nursery along with some other young starter trees. At the nursery, it was in a greenhouse and now at its new home it's indoors since the colder fall season is upon us. We've had it for about a month now. The BRT is under bright LED grow lights about 2 feet from the canopy for 16 hours a day. The soil has a lot of organic matter and holds water well (maybe too well).
At first the tree seemed to be doing great pushing out lots of new growth. Now it seems to be in trouble with yellowing and drying leaves. We noticed a very small amount of small fine webs so I sprayed a diluted solution of organic citric acid based miticide. I then noticed some slight burning on the newer growth so lesson learned there.
We are worried the BRT may need something or maybe it need nothing and we should wait it out watching not to over water. Not sure where to go from here. Repot to a more free draining soil? We're open to ideas
Thanks!
