My Husband has a Tea Tree and recently re potted it the leaves are droopy. I watered it and added some vitamins used when re-potting. It seems to be in shock.
The earth dried out very quickly so I re-watered the next day. Any thoughts?

The tree is in shock after the re-potting. Don't fertilize this tree again until you see new growth. Fertilizing it now can hurt it. let it rest. reduce watering a little and wait.

Not literally. Just give it special care until it starts sprouting new leaves. Always treat newly worked trees with kindness for a while.

No not literally, I just meant for Jade to look after the plant, the others already gave her some useful tips :)

dont worry about that shuck its just a plant mechanism for sorvival a part of stem loss the leaves when trigered....lossing leaves is to prevent the stem or plant from drying out becaus leaves can lose water easely due to evaporation....but dont over water the plant roots are n0t only for absorbing water it is also a breathing part specialy when leaves n0t available

You may also want to try misting the leaves for a few weeks.
