Bought my dad a lime tree last year. Did great over the summer, and bloomed profusely. Over the fall and winter though, I noticed it had a scale infestation. Manual removal, neem oil application, and lots of hope later and the lime tree has lost all but 1 of their leaves. Any hope remaining? It doesn’t get any direct light now that it’s winter, we don’t have anywhere good enough to put it, but I don’t suspect that’s the issue. We let the soil dry out between waterings, and even added it to a new pot a few months ago by slip potting. Every time we water I water deeply and make sure all the excess drains out the bottom. Really upset about this one. any chance of recovery?

needs deep pot, sandy soil. dirt, minimum organics. lots of Calcium as Gypsum, some 98% Calcium Carbonate a little bit of Bone Meal. lots of light.
It’s the dry heat from the floor duct
