Hi,

I have a very small Buddha's Hand citron but it lost all leaves in the last 2 weeks.All leaves got dried slowly and fell.

Below, photos of dried leaves;



Is it something like a fungus or cold? It is inside in front of my window and the average temperature in my room is 60F.

Thanks

Probably nothing to worry about. Did you recently move this plant into the house ?

Thanks Laaz,

I moved them inside 3 weeks ago and you are right, the problem started like 2 weeks ago.But it is infront of the window and taking a lot of sunlight.

There is no problem sign on stem but it lost all the leaves.

I moved a lot of citrus seedlings and this is the only one with this problem, maybe Buddha's Hand trees are more sensitive.

Do a search on WLD. I bet the root zone is much cooler than you think. With the top of the tree in direct sunlight this will cause the leaf drop.

I think you are right Laaz.
Actually I believe the temperature at the root zone is 60F but direct sun from south in my city is very strong so leaves may be effected by it.

I searched for WLD and found this text.

Thanks a lot Smile
