Hi I noticed the leaves on my baobab going like this. No pests that I can see. Is this signs of mineral deficiency?

    Maybe - I use seaweed extract on all my houseplants they seem to thrive on it. It contains all the nutrients your plant will need. I use it on them about once every 2-3 weeks in the growing season.

    The photo is a bit fuzzy - the only other thing to check for is spider mite, but you'll need a magnifying glass to see them. They live on the underside of the leaves and you often see tiny bits of web on the plant here and there.

    Certainly could be nutrient deficiency which can be caused by watering with alkaline water. Pot plants often benefit from being watered with cold tea. This acidifies the soil and may make nutrients more available.

    When you say cold tea I assume without milk?

    Yes.
