Lemon Tree – Leaves Dropping Off

Question

I have a lemon tree in a pot and all the leaves are dropping off. . . . . This is the 2nd lemon tree that the same thing is happening to. . . .The 1st one died, and now it looks likely to happen to this one if I don’t come up with a solution. . . . . can you help?

Answer 1

This is normally caused by letting the soil get too dry. Citrus trees are funny because they hold onto their leaves when they are under watered and then drop the leaves once water returns. You need to keep these plants evenly watered at all times to avoid this.

Answer 2

Also, you can use Mulch, it helps keep it moist.

Answer 3
