Hi guys,

Does anyone know what is up with my orange tree? It has leaves that are getting yellow and falling off. The contianer may be too small, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

how often do you water it? Be sure you check the soil in the pot before watering. If it still feels real moist you may need to let it dry out just a bit before watering. The signs of overwatering a plant look similar to underwatering.

I'm pretty sure I don't over water it. It's potted outside in the heat with no shade and requires watering almost every day. Any other ideas? I use Garrett Juice on it, does anyone think I may need to fertilize with something stronger?

If you've used Garrett juice already, I wouldn't put more fertilizer on it for at least a week. Have you looked closely at the leave to see if you have any pests? How long have you had the tree, how big is it?

Ok. I re-planted it and it seems to have fixed the situation! :) I also make sure that I apply Garrett Juice once a month.
