HELP!!! New leaves falling off

17 years ago

Hey I have a Lani Beauty hybrid plumeria and I planted it a month and a half ago on May 11th and I came home from work today and noticed the new leaves coming in are droopy like all the leaves, and noticed about 4 of them on the ground? I did add superthrive this last weekend.

What causes droopy leaves and for them to fall off. I heard over watering does but I dont think I have been. When it gets dry I water. Is it too soon for superthrive? Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my best one too so im freakin.

Have you changed the amount of sunlight the plant is receiving.

If it is in full sun and it is very hot, you can try cutting down on the amount of sun or place it in filtered light. If the leaves stiffen up again, you can gradually acclimate it to full sun again.

Sometimes, even though the top of the soil is dry, the soil towards the bottom of the pot can be wet, especially if you potted in a large pot. Check the main stem at the soil line and stick your finger into the soil and feel if the stem is still firm.
