all the leaves fell off - there is a little bit of green towards the bottom of the stem - is there any way for me to revive the plant?

I bought mine from Hirts it was beautiful,but had splotches on the undersides of the leaves. Over winter lost most of its leaves but is growing them back slowly.Also it has a few flowers and has about 6 lemons on almost bare stems.I just gave it fertilizer,I really hope it becomes lush with leaves again it was a beauty.

I would e-mail Hirts to see what their recommendations are. I purchased mine in March 2013, and it did well outside, but then over the winter it went dormant, and I actually think mine is dead now.

I didn't read all the answers but...when all the leaves fall off a citrus tree it, especially when it gets moved indoors, its a good indication of a drastic humidity change. Citrus needs humidity. Read up on how to accomplish this before movng indoors.

Can you shed some light as to why you believe all the leaves fell off? When I brought my citrus tree indoors for the winter (I live in Minnesota - Zone 4), all the leaves fell off. Apparently, my citrus tree threw a temper tantrum because I didn't acclimate it before bringing it in. When I placed the plant on a west-facing window, it slowly grew leaves again. I watered and fertilized weakly, weekly. If that is not it, I would recommend checking for insects (usually under leaves) etc. Hoping others can chime in and offer you suggestions. Good luck.

I sprayed with a pump sprayer and did the best I could do, especially the lower affected leaves. It did work. My cousin told me about it. Then the darn frost got them before they ripened.

Never done this myself, but try putting the poor guy in the sunlight for several hours and see if it renews it. These are so great, if one is ruined it is worth it to replace, then you'll have a spare. I love mine and recommend to anyone I can.

I really have no idea. It could be one of many things. Did u follow the setup instructions on how exactly to plant it & take care of it? What's the temperature like where you are keeping it? Are you over watering it? Have you tried contacting the company?

negative. This is preserved and dyed moss. I've worked with it for years, and definitely have never "watched it continue to grow." If it gets crusty, you can revive it by letting it soak in water, but note: it is still dead.

They delivered my tree in April. It started producing leaves, looked very healthy. Then we had a hard freeze from which it did not recover, and I am afraid it is now dead.

In my opinion, i'd sent it back. The plant shouldnt be ftozen in the first place, my friend who i ordered the plant for said the bonsai died 3 days after receiving it.

I think it was soil, half of the plant was dead and the rest was very small. After a month or so it was not doing any better.

Sandy, I've had mine for almost 2 months and it looses leaves everyday. I give it plenty of sunshine and keep it moist. I am not sure why the leaves fall off. Next month I am going to fertilize it like they suggest. I do notice new greener leaves sprouting all over so maybe loosing leaves is normal. I doubt this helped but at least u know someone else is experiencing the same thing. Also the instructions encouraged us to call them with any problems so maybe do that. Let me k ow if u find out anything useful. Good luck!Carla

Sorry, I have no idea. My plant died. Glad to hear your plant is a pretty green. Mine came as a dirty dark green. It was a disappointment all the way around.

In deed, the same thing happen to me. In fact, we lost it before the fall came along. I figured we got a enough vitamin and nutrients we needed for the grass to start growing. But it would have been nice for it to continue growing lush and full. Oh well. Nature is kind of strange in that way.....I look at it that Mother Nature knows what she is going. Good luck in future planting. Miss. Ducky

You should take it back...or call the company and explain what happened...maybe they will send you a replacement or refund

An update from you would be good. If you left them in the ground, you should be seeing flowers and foliage soon. I would think that you planted them too late to get flowers in that year, but hopefully they still would have lived.

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.
