They glued-on rocks are a problem. they should be removed right away.

Try to give these trees as much light as possible. A cheap florescent light would help, if you can do it, in addition to whatever they can get from the window.

As far as "moisture level is OK," what do you mean? If you mean the soil is constantly wet, this is a problem. It should be allowed to dry a bit between waterings. The glued-on rocks make it tough to tell.

"Potting soil" also retains too much moisture generally. Do'nt water it all the time.

BTW, please update your profile to let us know where you live to help

good luck,
pootsie
