hmm, but my other trex in pots and in ground not doing then same?

Sat, they haven't dried out at any stage have they. I've got one or two in pots here that have turned a lovely shade of red which I'm sure was due to lack of water.
Bad, bad gardener me!!!

That actually sounds quite cool Di

Would have been if the leaves had grown to the full potential, but didn't. New leaves look better now they're being looked after. Stuck them in the pond to get a proper drenching

Just older leaves, maybe hastened by drying but nothing to worry about, it'll lose them all to the winter anway, and re-grow next year.

ive noticed the nasty fluffy stuff to be quite thick on mine at the moment,anyone handling these plants now should be careful,wear a mask even as the resulting cough from breathing this in is quite unpleasant
