Just Bought Giant Citronella Plant And It Has A Lot Of Yellow Leaves And Browning On Bottom. Huge Plant Think Container Is Way To

Question

small. should I replant in the ground or bigger pot?

Answer 1

You should only replant if you can pull the whole root mass out and the roots are encircling the container. If it is not root bound, there will be no need to change the container, as doing so while the plant is stressed will worsen the problem, unless absolutely necessary.

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I cannot see what needs to be done.

I can say that these plants are very susceptible to root rot. Any overwatering will lead to brown and yellow spotting, curling leaves, and other symptoms.
