Avocado help please
Hi all,
Not a great gardener but I've been doing my best to look after an avocado plant a grew at the start of the year. Once potted it didn't get off to a great start and all the colour went from the leaves and it was a bare stem but after that I did lots of reading and got it to a very healthy state.
To get it into this state I repotted it in better draining soil, ensure the pH level was keep around 6 and ensured it was never wet with help from a moisture meter. It did fantastically well and grew big and very healthy looking until a couple of weeks ago I noticed browning on the leaves.
After a bit of reading I came to the conclusion it was a salt build it so repotted it again in a citrus potting mix and rinsed it through to clear it out but there's been no improvement. pH level still sitting at 6 and the soil is just moist so it's not been over-watered.
Can anyone offer any insight into where I'm going wrong here? It was looking so great for so long
Thanks in advance!
