 Hi
Can anyone give me some advice. I live in central England and have recently bought a small tetrapanax plant. Since planting in well drained fertile soil, the leaves are drastically falling off- any ideas why?Im really fed up os it cost me 25 quid!!  | |

Hi Timmo.
Maybe your soil is too well-drained. I understand that T. papyrifera is not really drought resistant (big leaves, big moisture losses -> drooping leaves)
I guess that in the UK you should have plenty of moisture  but if that soil is really too well-drained it may be a problem...

Hi
I think it could have been due to planting out that the plant lost a few lower leaves as it seems to be doing ok now  . Its not has fast growing as I thought, as its starting to be dwarfed by it neighbours! - Canna musifolia and paulonia tomentosa  | |
