Hey folks,
I am very worried regarding the dwarf orange that i planted recently. Its shredding leaves and looking weak.
please see the pdf attached for details also details can be found on

I need your help urgently

Hey there.
From the pictures on your google site, it looks like you bought a plant that is sick or dying already.
As a gardener that loves rescuing dying plants myself, I do see why you tried.

My observations?
The roots were already dried out and the xylem and phloem tissues were in the process of drying/constricting as well (shock) and what you're seeing now is the natural progression or lack thereof.
Raked root ball, fertilized, a soil mixture that resembles the recipe for C4 and replanted...twice.
You did all this to a sick plant.
This plant is a plant, not bonsai.
Also, it looks like you've got some bugs that are making in a meal of the leaves.

Things I would have done differently?
The plant was already under stress, why shock it further with a different Ph level soil and new environment?
I would have left the tree in the original pot, maybe just filled up the gaps with fresh potting soil ONLY. I really cant see why you used that unnecessarily complicated soil mixture.
Then a good watering and waited a month in the shade to see what happened.

What I would do now?
Moist, not wet root ball, in the shade, no fertilizers, pay attention and hope for the best.
I have had quite a few trees that literally came back from the dead after losing all leaves and all old branches literally snapping off, only to see new green shoots appear a few weeks later.
So all is not lost.

On a little side note, it is easy to think that growing plants and training bonsai are shrouded in mystique and magic. And indeed they can be.
But I believe that it is more about patience and paying attention to your craft/art/hobby. Learn as you go.
And understand that the trees, in a pot or out in a forest, have their own pace and their own ways. If you constantly interfere with a tree in the forest, you will probably kill it. The same is true for your trees in pots.
名媛直播 artists do not see their trees in days or months. They see them in decades.
At least I do.

No experience with this plant, but I do have to compliment you with the great effort you have done to explain the issue.
