All The Tips Are Dried And Leaves All Falling Off

Question

I brought in my eucalyptus plant (about 4 ft tall) at the beginning of Oct and it was doing ok. Earlier last week I noticed the tips are becoming brittle and dried. I watered the whole plant very well because I thought it might be dried. but now all the leaves super crispy and it’s all falling off with the slightest touch…

Answer 1

It sounds like it suffered an infection from overwatering. This could have been mistaken for needing water, which when given will worsen the issue.

You can attempt correction with a fungicide. Usually, in container, any infections left to progress are fatal.
