Chinese Elm drying up...
So I have been eyeing this nice older chinese elm at a local nursery here in San Diego for weeks and decided to buy it a couple weeks ago.
It is about 13" tall and the trunk is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Beautifully shaped tree. It has been outside in the sun the whole time at the nursery and growing nicely. We I brought it home and have it on my patio and it gets the afternoon sun and I have been misting it and watering good everyday but not it is drying up and all the leaves seem reading to fall off.
Is the tree dying? what should i do here to revive it. I put a little fertilizer in yesterday hoping this will help.
Please give me some suggestions as I paid over $100 for the once beautiful tree and i dont want to lose it.
