This season my Namwah went from looking extremely healthy to not being able to put out any healthy leaves. It first started with new leaves emerging with deformities - mainly leaves seemed narrower and edges were crinkled. Now it is almost as if leaves are emerging not fully developed (are narrow and damaged and often have yellow/black scorch marks starting on edges). Any idea what is going on? I have loaded some photos to my photo gallery if helpful.

it might be due to the cold
ease up on watering and fertilizing until it is warmer out |

Looks like primarily a calcium/boron deficiency:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...52340923002743 Usually dolomite lime (or an equivalent) plus a small amount of regular borax helps it recover. Boron helps with calcium uptake. I can't recall the specific ratio, a Google search should turn something up. Those leaves will stay deformed, but successive new leaves will gradually look better as the plant takes up nutrients. Patience is key, borax/boron can easily become toxic if too much is added.
