These live outside having been rescued from a garden centre about 3 or 4 weeks ago (where they lived under shelter but not fully "inside". There were three fairly ugly trees crammed into a small pot as some sort of very clumsy forest / raft type thing. The soil was no good, so I removed and repotted them all- doing as little as possible to the roots in the process. Then back into pots with Kaizen ready mixed soil which should provide good drainage etc.
The biggest is going nicely. The other two (and one in particular) are showing some signs of unhappiness and dropping some leaves. They are turning yellow and or red. Anything I should be worried about? It has been very wet recently, but hopefully the soil is good enough to avoid overwatering problems.

Re potting out of season is the reason for some leaf loss, however they should be ok. Do not put them inside at any time, once they are growing they need full sun. The reddish leaves are the ones that are growing, so nothing wrong
