# I've just repotted my avocado trees but on one of them there top…

_Posted by Mj on 2025-03-10_

I've just repotted my avocado trees but on one of them there top leaves have gone really limp and thin. I repotted with soil recommended to me for these plants and mixed in some chicken pellets. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it or what's wrong?

I cant see the pot but it looks quite large. It’s possible you’re overwatering it now because the plant doesn’t have enough roots to absorb the water fast enough.

If you just repotted, it could be transplant shock. Usually i try to give a tad more water. And then care like normal, so I don't over correct.

I use a lukewarm water, as that's more easily uptaken

This happened when I watered it with tap water instead of distilled.
