any pictures?????

Marica, I never saw your pics. Remember that the first rule is pictures.

we don`t see what you are looking at.

Marica,

First of all, relax. There will be runts in any batch of seeds you sow. Even if they all survive, they will have different sensitivities. Some will die, even with heroic measures. Even if you did not grow these from seed, the same rule applies. They just do not have identical traits.

You said your plantlings are indoors already so that's good. I suggest you dig out this problematic plant and check under the soil. It may have low tolerance of cold or it may have other issues. I don't like guessing so I always look under the soil at the first sign of root issues.

If there looks to be nothing obviously wrong, put it back in a pot of moist (not wet) potting material---whatever it is that you normally use and are comfortable with using. I strongly recommend gritty substrate. Something like pumice with only about 5 percent potting soil. It's easier to control when you have a problematic plant. Then, do not water until you see new growth. After that, water it only when it is warm at night.

Second, I strongly recommend watering your plants based on actual uptake. Different plants use up different amounts of water at different rates. I do this by testing the weight of a potted plant when wet and when dry. Even pure gritty mix will weigh much more when wet. This way, if you have plants that are slow on the uptake, they won't get over-watered just because you've scheduled all your plants to be watered every week.

Third, people forget it takes a while for bare-root plants to recover. In Zone 7, it takes them a year after I first get them. During the first year, they will grow maybe a few sets of leaves, and even bloom in reaction to stress. But mostly they will spend that time colonizing the pot (i.e. growing new roots) and reestablishing itself. It is at this point when it becomes critical that they are in a fast-draining mix because they will not survive over-watering.

When your plant recovers and starts growing, you can put it back in a more moisture-retentive substrate, given your location.

Lastly, relax lol these are relatively resilient plants. They don't actually
keel over easily. Cold is their one enemy though but they won't easily
die from that either.

I hope this helps.

Marica,

I believe you are speaking of TT that you got from Dino?

I have a tree from Dino and it was extremely soft and I was quite concerned about it's condition and prognosis. They gave me the reassurance to look after the tree and care for it Ina matter I knew, but was questioning myself.

Leafing out can take some time. Not to worry. If you lift it to see if there are any new feeder roots started, do so carefully and then place back into pot and loosely place soil back in. Then water it in, do not compact soil or you will break off any new roots.

I planted this tree in a mix with lots of coconut husk chunks in it. Had to give it more water than I thought. More so after a few weeks. Always kept warm.

Dino is very accommodating and will assist if you have any questions.

Pagan has given you very sound advice here.
