I tried to post a picture but it will not let me copy and paste. I tried uploading a few as well but I do not seem to be able to do that from my Ipad. I will try to go on my computer later to upload a picture. Yes it is always in full sun. I used Miracle grow potting soil with vermiculite. Yes the pot has good drainage. The pot is about 14 inch square. I water every few days or when it is dry. It was extremely happy until a few weeks ago. It is about 5 feet tall and has more than doubled in size since I bought it in April. The leaves appear sad - they are wilting. They are turning yellowish brown with little brown streaks in them. I have been cutting off the bottom leaves when they brown but now it is happening to some of the larger leaves. It has 4 pups coming out - two larger ones and two smaller ones. I just learned I need to take the pups out but leave one pup and the main tree. Going to do that this week.
As soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will. Thanks for your help!
