Callistemon citrinus (Bottlebrush) problems
"Paul" wrote in message ...
I wonder if anyone can help? A friend of mine has a Bottlebrush, Callistemon citrinus. It has started shedding some leaves, and other leaves are turning yellow. It is in a pot at the moment because of frost fears, and is in and out of the house (no greenhouse). Does anyone know what might be causing the leaf problems? Could it need more water, or be in need of some sort of 'food', or ? Thanks for any help Paul The Callistemons at Wisley are outside. There is one in the wall opposite the bookshop. This is a fairly exposed position. I noticed another un a corner against ne of the buildings. This would be a much drier and more sheltered spot. Both are in the ground and look as if they stay there. Last time I saw them 27th Dec 03 they both looked in good condition (as Wisley would you expect anything else !!!). That being said Callistemons are not just one plant there are many varieties with a range of tolerances. I would put the plant outside in a sheltered position and leave it alone. |
