Hi
I have a rajapuri in a container indoors since around last 6months.
I it has been doing so far quite well except since the last3-4 weeks it has suddenly started showing up first with a small yellow brown indentation of a new leaf, then there was anice leaf and again the next one has a big brown yellow border.
I fertilise it regularly(every fortnight) and water well only when the top soil dries out.
it is in a bright room by a south facing window and gets sunlight whenever the sun wants to shine. it is potted in a well draining container and in all purpose plant soil.
Around 4 weeks ago I poured in some used water from the fish tank-could this have caused the prob? or is it some kind of rot? It is kinda steaing my goodnights sleep.
I know that the plant is container bound and wanted to repot it but i think if it is sad enough now then the transplantation shock will be too big for it.

Do you think this is a disease or some kind of deficiency. and what could i do about it?
I would be very grateful for some good insight into the problem and solutions

I wanted to add photos here but it got uploaded in my gallery

Might be fert burned, you seem to fert it to much.
Also U might check it for spidermites and Im not sure thats Rajapuri.

In case it is over fertilized what do I do about it to save it, of course stop fertilizing but also repot it to bigger pot now?

ok getting my eyes sharper to check out for mites.

it was sold to me as a rajapuri...what do you think it could be?

No need for bigger pot, just stop with fert and U might try to wash out that soil.
There are many treads about spidermates so U can find out easy how to fight them. I belive thats Basjoo.

Does anyone know if the fish tank waste water could cause problems?

Probably not, unless of course it was a saltwater tank ;)

Thanks for info! Just started experiencing same condition with my Dwarf Cavendish. Going to skip fert for awhile.

No it was sweet water fish without salt additives but naturally could have been a case of overfertilizing since it too has a high nutrient(N and P content).

The forum seems to be in the theme "Reading Material", someone put out PDF document with pictures of symptoms and consequences of a lack of micro and macro.
