Good Morning,

I'm not sure if anyone is still watching this thread, but I thought I'd send a follow up. I finally have some encouragement from my citrus! You were so right on many accounts. I gave it furtilizer and treated it for spider mites (that was what it had). I used neem oil on it which works wonders and is my new favorite pesticide. I also started deep watering it about every 2 weeks. I lost a lot of leaves before it showed any signs of life, but all of a sudden I have tons of new buds! I was so tickled to discover them! Here is a photo and I hope it continues to recover.

Thank you so much for your advice and help! It is hard to be patient, but definitely worth the wait. The flowers on this little tree smell wonderful!

Have a good day!
