| Hi people, i have a Sageretia Theezans that until the winter was doing great. It lost all it's leaves and after a month or so started trying to regrow but the leaves seem to dry out quickly and die. Think i'm watering about right and mist several times daily. Is situated in a sunny window in the kitchen.Have just introduced a humidity tray but have run out of idea's, any surgestions would be greatfully recieved, cheers in advance. |

| These can be a 'picky' and 'touchy' tree under most circumstances. They are both evergreen and semi-dicduous depending on growing conditions. If you haven't done so by now I'd take a look at the roots. What you're describing sounds a lot like root rot and I'll guess that the drain holes in the pot (a 'malsai' tree?) are plugged. I'd re-pot by just slip-potting into something bigger in a well draining soil mix and see what happens after a while. If and when you do this look at the roots, trim away any that are soft and either black or dark brown. Water it well once, mist it once in a while and see what happens after a few weeks. I suspect that, when you take it out of the pot, you'll find that it was sitting in water and not draining well or at all. |

| I'm having the same issue, and i don't know of its a nutrient deficiency, watering/humidity result, pest issue, or lighting issue. |

| Follow up: I watered my Sagaretia with a Neem flush and followed this with some feeding (Shultz plant food) and the leaf tips have stopped turning brown, so I can only think that a) there was some funglal growth that was killed by the Neem, or b) the plant was deficient in some nutrients. Regardless I'm happy. |
