Hey guys,
I have had this tree since May and it has been doing well. In the last few days, however, its branches are drooping and the leaves don't look too well.
Another thing that appeared recently is tiny white balls on the leaves (see picture attached).
Please help me save my tree!
Any advice is much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Annie

Hi Annie,
Your plant has visitors. Ithink they are Thrips, but maybe it is aphids. Check very carefully for small insects, maybe only a mm of maybe 2 across.
A good insecticide can help. But more important is understand why the plant is unhapppy. Infections like these can occur because plants are unhealthy. In your case however, you are trying to grow a stricttropical. Unless you are in the tropics, this is a dificult thing to do.
