Hi,

First time taking care of plants and was hoping for some guidance. My dappled willow is scorched and I\'m not sure what else to do.

When I noticed the scorching, I moved the plant from a full sun to a part sun area. It now receives direct sunlight from morning till noon.

Also bought a moisture gauge that suggested the soil was in the drier side. So now I water the plant every morning until the water comes through the drainage holes.

I assume that the scorched leaves will not recover... But it seems like new ones are starting to crisp up as well.

It has been one to two weeks since I thought I \"remedied\" the situation . Perhaps it is still too soon to tell?

I live in Toronto where the temp is ranging from 70 F to 85 F.

Thanks
