    I have a cym. Sinenses which is not happy looking. It is dropping some of its leaves from newer growth. I have been growing it for about a year now. It does have a small issue with scale that I clear off when I see them. I think it could be reported by not sure if I could wait till spring. I grow it in a greenhouse with a south exposure and well shaded with intermediate temps. . Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    In my experience, Cym. sinsense is a warm grower that likes to remain constantly moist, and they don’t seem to flinch upon repotting.

    If you’re losing growths, it is likely there is a root issue. Definitely check.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I did just repot it today. Yes the roots were hurting, but I managed to keep enough to give the plant a chance. I also got a backbulb with a little green left in it and a tiny root planted up.
