Tropical Zone Gardening: Abiu - help!, 0 by Braveheartsmom

My little abiu plants are not doing very well! They were groing so slowly I gave them a very light seaweed foliar feeding in the evening - and look what happened! There are no sign of any sort of insect, so is it the feeding? They haven't dried out either, but they are in full sun - is that what is wrong?

I think they will probably recover with some new leaves, but should I put them into the ground and take my chances with the slugs? I am doing something wrong because they should be a lot bigger and healthier looking by now, surely. They were planted sometime at the end of March.

Maybe you can tell that I am panicking . These two plants are too precious for me to loose! Need help from the garden gurus!
