[IBC] Ligustrum Probs......trying to stop it dying :o(
Hi,
Ive had a Ligustrum (privet) for a few months now and it seemed fine...then its leaves started turning brown and falling off.......I checked, found it was pot bound, trimmed the roots (very carefull as this was my first time), I then left it and it seemed to be doing fine again, but now the leaves are turning. Can some kind person point me in the right diretion?? Most Ligustrum get pot bound at least twice a year. There's no need to be particularly gentle with them. A couple of questions: 1. Which Ligustrum? Oval, pale green, dull-surfaced leaves? (L. sinensis) Oval, pointed tip, dark green, glossy leaves (L. japonicum)? Other? (There are gazillions of kinds of Ligustrum.) 2. How long ago did you trim the roots? 3. What is your watering regime? 4. How have you fertilized? 5. Where do you live? 6. Where do you keep the plant? Indoors? Outdoors? They will NOT do well indoors. 7. Are leaves turning bright yellow? 8. How large is the plant? 9. Is it in a bonsai pot, and if so is it a small on relative to the size of the tree? I have half a dozen L. sinensis bonsai from mame to nearly two-hand trees. Ligustrum are among the toughest plants on earth. They DO get white fly, which can damage leaves, but since you didn't mention bugs, that's probably not the problem.
