Default Need Help with My Avacado Tree

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on a Avocado tree that I am
growing. Right now it is about a year old and stands 4 feet or so
high. In the last few months however I have been having problems with
it's leaves turning brown. Information I have read from web sites
suggest that it is getting to much water, but I only water it once a
week if that.

In a effort to fix the problem, I moved it to a bigger pot (not such
how big but at least 30 gallons or more) and changed out the oil from
a Potting soil to something called Cactus soil, apparently this soil
does not hold the water as much and is better for Avocado trees (Or so
I read online)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Bob Shafer
