Aralia not looking so hot
So I bought a beautiful aralia about six months ago and it has been great. I don't know if it's the weather or it just can't stand to live in this apartment that quite frankly, I don't want to be either, but it's not looking so good. When I bought it, it has tons of dark green leaves on all it's branches and then I trimmed it down to "tame" it a bit. It looked great. Then within the past month or so, it had lost some leaves and began to not look as good as it once did. The other day, I decided to clean it up and cut some old and dead leaves off it and cut back some of the growth and get it ready for spring. I did trim it down to where there was little to no leaves, but everything was green on the ends. The new branches were dark green and I even cut back the older branches and there was green there, too. Now, as you can see, the newest branches are withered and dark and I want to know if there is anything I can do or if this is just the tree running it's yearly course. I appreciate your help in advance.
