Hi, i recently got a dwarf namwah over a month or 2 ago. Its been in a smaller pot but i transplanted it last week. I put it in a mix of perlite, sand, potting soil, and very old horse manure (completely dried i had to rehydrate). It was doing good until i went out of town for 2 days now i have a lot of brown spots on the leaves and im panicking.

Our weather was really weird this year, we had some late very cold weather in April and now its been in the upper 90s the past couple weeks. I have been keeping it on our back patio with part sun. Sometimes it would look a little sad in the sun before i moved it to the bigger pot... So i would try making sure it wad on a shady patio spot.

When i transplanted it, it had a cigar roll just emerging, and it was 90%ish unrolled before i went out of town.


Not sure what to do, I'm afraid to add water since i thought they have more trouble with over watering than underwatering. I dont know if i need to change my mix or what.
