Lemon tree leaf loss

[fei]

Hi

I have previously posted about sticky leaves six months back which had been caused by a bug apparently which I treated with neem oil. I believe they were eradicated but the leaves have all bit fallen of the tree now. I stopped frequent watering a couple of months ago now and just water every few weeks. (Making sure the pot is slightly moist) I've not trimmed the tree at all, the branches are green with some brown ones.

Is there something I should be doing?

Thanks in advance

Fei

Lemon tree sticky

Hi, Can anyone help me identify and what to do with this lemon tree please? It's become really sticky (so has my orange tree) and leave are dropping off although new ones have formed. There's brown spots on the leaves and the old ones become withered. What can I do?

Just give it as much light as possible and wait for warm weather. It can survive for several months with few or no leaves. Acclimate it gradually to some sun in the spring. Your watering sounds about right.
