Its kinda tricky in the winter, every time I fert. I get some burn marks like that..... ok here's what I would do... Repot, while repoting check for root rot ( cutt rot off)...cut main plant down to 8" leave pup alone..........do not water atleast a week after potting, let dry out... get a stick push in the ground let it in to see if soil is dry.....(stick trick) I barely water my saim ruby in the winter and the cure for spidermites (there is no cure!!!) 1 bucket of water a 1 sponge and a little dish soap, wipe the leaves off........... from one in your area..... now in my basement I have not seen a real problem with mites..... Anywhere I get dust in the house (furnace) you will find these little guys......

Hey thanks for the advice and GO BUCKS...Its nice to see other Buckeyes on here....I havent given it any fertilizer at all because i got it in late fall and the guy i got it off of told me not to fertilize it in the winter and not to water at all because he watered it good before i got it. He also said the soil wasnt very good soil and he was afraid it would rot. I think i am gonna chop it down but what would be the benefits of repotting it. Im hoping i can save it, the pup just put out a new leaf so i still have hope.
