Avocado Tree Leaves Drooping After Transplant

Then pull the mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Avocado tree leaves drooping after transplant. Also use a pot with good drainage. If you water the plant too often the soil can get too wet even if the top layer seems fine. In my experience the main thing that actually causes transplant shock is probably uv rays shining on plants with disturbed roots. Symptoms of tree transplanting shock are immediately obvious in trees that are moved in full leaf or when leaves form after the replanting.

Affected avocado leaves curl into each other even when soil moisture levels are adequate. You want to avoid volcano mulching. Add a two to four inch deep layer of mulch from the tree s base to its outermost leaves. Do not water at all until this soil gets dry.

Drooping is a sign of wet feet hence overwatering see comment of evil elf. Tiny roots affected by root rot appear weak breakable and black in color. Drooping leaves can be caused by at least a few things. Deciduous tree leaves will wilt and if corrective steps are not immediately taken may eventually turn brown and drop.

Let it rest from being watered. Do not remove leaves until you feel the avocado plant has recovered itself. Feel with your fingertips the slight dampness of the soil around it. To help your shocked transplanted avocado plant do not overwater it.
