Hello,

One of my garden lilly pilly that I planted in May, has started drying/dying from top. Can anyone please help?

Hello @manihome 

Thanks for sharing your question about your Lilly Pilly. I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Lilly Pilly drooping and brown leaves by @RosesRed333444. I suspect that the change in weather is slowly affecting your Lilly Pilly. The rocks near you plant act like heat sinks and hold the heat of the sun and releases that heat even during the evening. The heat generated by your Colorbond fence could also be affecting your plants health.

However, we can't discount the possibility that it might be soil nutrition deficiency, over or under watering and fungal or insect attack. Can you please tell us how often you water the plant? When was the last time you added fertilizer to the soil? Have any of the other plants near the fence reacted the same way when the weather changed? Any other information you can share will help us give you a better diagnosis on what could possibly be causing your plant to wilt.

I suggest having a look at these guides:

• How to diagnose a sick plant by @Noelle 
   
• How to grow and care for a Lilly Pilly

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Eric
