| Hi
I have had this plant in a pot for over a year now, it has grown really well, flowered and I gave it a light prune to shape. Now, it's turning brown. What has happened? What have I done? A small "patch" is turning brown and now the tips are turning brown. I don't want to lose it. |

| Most likely your Tetratheca is suffering water stress. Native plants are not uniformly drought tolerant and Tetratheca are certainly not among the most drought tolerant of native plants. I am not familiar with Tetratheca in field conditions but quite possibly they die back to their root stock in drought and re-shoot once moisture levels improve. This is very common among a wide range of native plants. |
