are you sure 5 days is adequate enough?...i thought 3 is better...
unless it stresses out the tree...
im gonna try some systemic insecticide...
rubbing alcahol...is that just metholated spirits?...or is it those aneasthetic wipes etc that comes in abottle....like that alligator brand one...
damn too late, i just couldnt bare to see the leaves liek that...i cut them all off....what should i do now then.....make sure theres adequate watering?
is there any disadvantages of the systemic insecticides?i heard they work very well....but someone said it leaves a white milky deposit in the soil

are you sure?, because ive read in a book and saw a simillar picture...that those brown marks are fungal infections due to pests...
browning of the entire leaf and shrivelling....is a sign of heat & moisture loss
