Hi guys,

I'm currently struggling with my tree and I was suggested to get humidity tent. This was rather recurring suggestions and I found it as a solution in multiple cases. Nevertheless, I was unable to find any specifics on how make it.
I somewhat imagine it being a plastic bag with small holes for breathing in which the tree is "packed" but at this point I'm guessing.

Could you please provide some suggestions on how to make it? Maybe som of your own creations which you use.

Thanks

Personally, i find humidity tents create as many problems as they solve. Plants need air movement and drying of foliage and branches. If you are growing the wrong species for your region, maybe better get a suitable species?

While I agree that choosing correct tree for region is a good idea, this does not help me much. I got it as a gift and now I'm trying to keep it alive.

You can buy them, or DIY. There? a movie about it on youtube (for orchids, but that does not really matter).

Simplest solution: Take 3 sticks. Put them in the pot, slightly outward. Make them taller than the plant. OPull a see-though plastic bag over it.

Is this the video you mentioned?



I will try that sticks and plastic bag thingy. At this point it looks like there is not much to lose. Weather is getting hot in here, but humidity is lacking and leaves start to go yellow and hang down.

Maybe you could include a picture of the plant, the species and the care given. I pretty much doubt it is just humidity.

So picture is down below text. It is fukien tea, placed on the windows which heads directly to east. Problems started relatively recently when temperatures increased above 25 celsius (I have no idea how hot it is in room). I water it regularly based on "chopstick check", It is fertilized at least every two weeks.

This s not what I would expect to see when you have humidity issues. I would exppect dried out leaves, not yellowing leaves.

Do not fertilize your tree. It is not growing, and therefor does not need the fertilizer.
It takes a week for the soil to dry after watering? This indicates that the tree is not absorbing water quick enough, Could be due to already increased salts in the soil (But you should see white/yellow discoloration on the surface of the soil). Or you rplant had dried out at some point, and part of the roots died off. Could itbe that you have been late watering the plant at some point?

How about the substrate it is in? Is it fully grainy? Or does it have ' soil' in it too?

As a side-note: Camona are temperamental. I have never had one, will never own one. But I have not seen anyone yet that has grown one succesfully for a long time. It is really odd that these plants are sold around the world to so many peoplle. They do cause a lot of frustration.

Soil is grainy all the way down as seen on top. I did repot it some time ago and there was some original soil which I left there as it was quite hard to get rid of and I did not want to damage it further. I was expecting that repoting would have negative impact directly after but I guess you never know

I have read some articles about carmonas after I got it as a gift and it looks like it is one of the toughest trees to keep. No one ever knows what's wrong with it and it simply dies. It looks like I will have to wait a while to see how it goes and eventually pick some more suitable tree.
