Hello Everyone! I'm from Roswell, New Mexico and am "alien" to this site. :0) I bought what the tag indicates is an Eureka Lemon tree in a 3.56 gal pot this past summer. I repotted it a couple of weeks later in a 5 gal pot, as I need to bring it in for the winter. I've been feeding it Miracle Gro and our infamous hard water and it produced pretty, fragrant white blossoms and small lime-like fruit during the summer. I brought it in before the first freeze, no colder than 42 degrees. Our home is usually at a 68-72 degree temp. Since it's been in the house the past few weeks, it's had one blossom and several fruit. Now, all the leaves have fallen off!! I don't want to sound ignorant, but what is going on? It did so well outside, but I didn't want to freeze the poor thing. Now, that it's in the home, it seemed to go in shock. What can I do? Help! Confused, New Mexico Lady
There is a ton of postings on this forum concerning leaf drop. Use the search function and you will find a LOT of information. Take care - Millet
Cause could be from transition indoors, especially if the heat was already turned on in the house. Plants need to transition slowly to temp changes or they drop their leaves in times of stress. Here's how to move them. http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC1454.htm Newt
