I didn't want to post this on Jungleman's thread, but I need some advice. My Yellow Champaca is not doing so well. It has lost all its leaves and starting to die, just wondering if there is anything I can do to save it. I stopped watering it, incase I was overwatering it. (The picture shows it wet because it just rained today) however it has been on the dryer side and just watered lightly.

I purchased it from Top Tropicals about 1 1/2 years ago and it was doing beautifully in my lanai full of leaves, I decided to move it outside under my oak tree to get some more fresh air, I also repotted it up one size at that time also. From then on it started dropping all it's leaves. Not sure if it got over watered from all the rain we had over the summer or what I did wrong. My white Michelia is doing ok.

Any ideas? Advice?
Thanks in Advance

It's hard to see since I have so many plants in the background but here's some photos.
