Q.potted key lime
Unfortunately, I read the causes of leaves dropping after having over-watered my potted key lime. While a lot of leaves dropped, there are still some on the tree but it is really patchy and looks like a Charlie Brown key lime. Should I cut it back or just wait and see if new leaves come in? Thanks in advance for your help!
Make sure you allow the soil to drain and dry out.
Avoid stressing the plant and it should recover, unless the overwatering led to root rot.
To not prune or fertilize at this time.
