My new growth and some of the older leafs on my microcarpa is developing dry, curled looking leafs.

I'm not using the crappy soil you get when you first buy this ficus, but instead using a very good free drainage mix



I water once the top 1 inch gets dry.

I'm using a slow release organic fertiliser with another pellet slow release High N fertiliser.

Maybe this curling of leafs is due to much nutrient uptake causing dehydration?

I suspect too little watering or too much organic fertiliser i'll adjust the watering and see how it goes
