Leaves drying on Meyer Lemon Tree

6 years ago

Hi all,


I recently bought a very young Meyer Lemon tree online. It came in a tall but small container. I repotted it and gave it a good deep watering about a week later, which was yesterday, after finding all the ingredients for 5:1:1. For the last three days, California has been having a heat wave. Im new to gardening but I read that it needs about 8+ hours of sun. After the first day of the heat wave, it started to look very thirsty even though I watered it so I moved it to where it gets less sun. Currently, it gets full sun until about noon.


Not sure if it is relevant, when I repotted it, I didn’t remove the soil within the roots because it was pretty compacted in there and I didn’t want to damage the root. I only gave it a gentle massage to remove a little bit of the soil.


I haven’t watered it since yesterday since the soil is still a little moist. I attached the photos to show the current state of the plant. any advise and help will be greatly appreciate
