Meyers Lemon Tree Dying?

Hi All, I have a meyers lemon tree (Lucy the lemon tree) which has been doing fine for a year in my conservatory, however I think I overwatered it. Since then it’s leaves have been turning yellow and dropping off from the base of the tree and leaf drop has been slowly creeping upwards. I repotted it with fresh citrus soil and refrained from watering it too much however I fear it is a lost cause. I have uploaded some pictures so you can see what it looks like. Any ideas on what I should do to try and save her? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated :smile:

    In my opinion it doesn't look too bad. Leaf drop over time happens, especially if your home/conservatory is warm and dry. They prefer cool and slightly damp air conditions over the winter months. Try to give it that and plenty of bright light.

    Mine is a lime, which is slightly different,  but if stressed will loose leaves. So I suggest feed in the water ( half a teaspoon per litre of summer feed) given twice a week. Between times spray with water  to raise humidity. Let it leaf drop as it's already too late for them, but watch for new growth in about a week or two. It will look a bit drastic for a while but should bounce back. Hope this helps, and let us know how you get on.😁
