Help save my potted Lisbon lemon!!

10 years ago

Hi, I've searched through the forum, but can't quite figure out why my plant us seemingly dying. I've had it almost 3 years, I Didn't do much at first but repot it, it grew inside but never bloomed. Last summer I had it outside, it bloomed and started growing lemons after I replaced the soil to citrus/cactus soil and used jobe's citrus fertilizer. After transitioning it inside for the winter, it started dropping leaves, and dropped 1 lemon. It is progressively getting more bare. Fertilizing seems to slow it but then I'll come home to a handful more leaves on the floor. How often do you fertilize a potted lemon? It starts dropping leaves a few days after fertilizing, once a week seems too much according to the package directions. Also, I've found some cobweb like things, but haven't found any bugs. Could it be an indoor pest? Time to change dirt? Root rot since it seems to effect whole branches at a time from the distal end inward? Over/ under fertilizing? Or multiple problems? Please help I feel like this plant won't last until spring to make it outside again.

Ps- it's in a sunny window, but I also use a plant bulb in the evening. Thanks.

This is a leaf stem dangling by what looks like a cobweb.
