Well, there is possibility of that. I've been watering about once every three to four days (not on a schedule, just as I think the tree needs it), but due the light draft exposure I have been misting the tree at least once a day (usually twice). Perhaps the frequent evaporation of the mist on the leaves is part of the problem. I did notice when I removed the root ball from it's pot that quite a lot of water was released (about 1/3 of a cup) which tells me it's not draining right -- mind you, at the time that I looked at the roots I had just watered five hours prior (still too much retention if you ask me).

Thanks for your response Barry
