Leaves Falling Off Of Lime Tree

Question

I just bought this little lime tree. I’ve had it in my greenhouse for about 2 weeks and now the leaves are falling off. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

It likely has to do with the change in environment and/or watering issues. The leaves should grow back. When you water, be sure to dump out the water in the tray. It can soak up into the roots and cause root rot.
