This year i chose to commit one of my babies to the ground to see how she'd do. Turns out not as well as i had hoped....someone please help me out on this one, any advice would be much appreciated
Since she has survived thus far and the new growth seems green I would say give her time I believe she will pull through. The damage in the older growth seems to be a combination of nutrient burn, heat stress and PH imbalance. If I were in your shoes at this point I would just continue watering as needed and wait.
