I have a problem with my Myers Lemon. It has many small fruit and was looking good till recently. Now the leaves have turned very light colored. They have not started to drop, but I am sure that is next. It was fertilized a while back, a month or two ago, and not sure what wifey used. Sitting beside it in this picture is another Myers that she bought a few days ago. The difference is very clear to see. Could someone please advise me what is wrong with my plant. This plant has already survived one near death episode and I don't want to lose it now.

How well does the soil in that pot drain ? Citrus plants like lots of water but their soil must drain really well . If the soil doesn't drain fast their roots start to rot .

My wife repotted the plant, but we usually add too much rock to the bottom of the plants to build in drainage and to keep the containers from blowing over in windstorms. I think we will pull it up and check it tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.
