I've this elm now for nearly a month. It had severely terrible soil that was showing clearly in the leaves, and so I repotted into cat sand, and started fertilising. I've been following the directions on the bottle (liquid fertiliser) exactly. The tree bounced back within a few days. Heaps of new growth popped up, and the tree started to look much healthier. But, the new growth seems to come in, brown up, and fall off.
This a new fertiliser that I'm using when I purchased the tree. It's supposedly "year round bonsai fertiliser", at 4+2'2+5, versus generic brand 7-3-5. However, this elm seems to be the only tree affected. Ficus, bougainvillea, pine, spruce, juniper, and yew all seem to be fine with the same amount of fertiliser, and they all have the same cat sand soil mix.
I stopped using the liquid fertiliser on it a week ago, thoroughly drained the soil, and put a slow release stick in instead, but it does not seem to be improving.
