My Fukien tea, which I just recently rescued from mealy bugs
using Carl's
soap solution (thanks loads), has now suddenly began to lose
leaves. A
large majority of the leaves have begun to turn dark green to
black around
their edges, they are drying up and beginning to fall off.
There is still
plenty of new growth, but I'm afraid something is seriously
wrong for so
many leaves to be sick. Any ideas?

=============

I don't know about Fukian tea, but some plants do not like the
soap solutions. Never use soap on a trident maple, for instance,
and be very careful with other maples. The symptoms are similar.
