OK lets take this session to a miniture level. I have a little bonzi cedar, which I dearly love and does not seem to lack for anything, as I water it weekly to "moist" soil, and feed it with hydroponic fertilizer. It seems to be doing the same thing, and as I have a bit of money invested in the thing, I will be reassured as long as things don't get too brown. But with the salt comment, I wonder if I'm giving it too much water or fertilizer (pot has drain hole for excess water). Any comments welcome...
