Cypress and Ch. Elm in need

Dear all, I have some questions about my Cypress and Chinese Elm. They are not on deaths door, yet i want to act now before it is too late.

My cypress was planted from a cutting, and began to grow vigorously. Yet now its green leaves are beginning to yellow at the edges and die. Could this be a problem with the watering? They are outside in the Australian summer, it SHOULD be ideal, but there is something wrong.

My chinese elm is about four years old. I bought it about two months ago as a fairly good mallsai and moved it to a bonsai pot. It has not grown in this time, instead its leaves are also beginning to yellow and brown. Is this natural?

Any replies would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bren.

I don't know your climate, but the plants might need some light afternoon shade. *Sometimes, pots in fierce sun can overheat, and cooked roots aren't able to transport water that the trees really need when the temperatures rise. * Maybe some 50% lath or shade cloth that you can remove in the fall would help.

Regards,

Matt

Thanks for the post, but i dont think this is it, as it already gets afternoon shade. AS for the Ch. Elm, i just realized that it is coming up to Autumn. That might explain the elm, but the cypress is still in need.

Thanks,
