My pink flamingo tree leaves curling up really tightly around the edges they almost look deformed. What can I do to prevent this?

    I assume you mean the pink and cream variegated willow.   They need a lot of water so maybe it's just thirsty so try giving it a good soaking of 10 litres at a time, 2 or 3 days a week.   Other than that, look closely for any insects that may be sucking sap.

    if its in a pot then move it into the shade and stick it in a bucket of water if you can (soak it if you can't) if its in the open then try and drown it (you won't) but they need a large amount of water

    Bonemeal - feeds the roots and helps with general plant health.  No nitrogen as that promotes soft growth and foliage so is wasted in winter.
