# Just got a Mauritius lychee tree but it looks like it has leaf burn…

_Gepostet von BotanicalBrooke am 2025-05-07_

Just got a Mauritius lychee tree but it looks like it has leaf burn and its leaves are drooping I gave it shade and a bin of water but it’s a full sun plant so should I take it out of shade?

You have to acclimate it to full sun over a period of several days. Check online for detailed instructions to avoid further sunburns. Search “Acclimate plants to outside.”🪴🍀

Yeah,but even in the shade it’s wilted

I’m not sure the wilting is from being in shade. It could be stress from adjusting to a new location once removed from the nursery/store. That will take time to adjust.

It could be too dry. Check the soil for moisture. Water if needed.

If it was repotted shortly after arriving, less than a month, it could be drooping and drying from the stress of broken/disturbed roots during repotting.

If it was under a shade cloth roof in the nursery, then, place a piece of shade cloth over it until it can acclimate to full sun.
