Hey everyone. Trying to learn as much as I can about these fun trees!

I've had a Fukien Tea that was doing well. Sprouting lots especially wuen fertilized. But lately it looks a bit rough. All the leaves have fallen off...a few are left and dark green and shriveled looking. It was watered and fetilized and no change to the leaves for over a week.

I would like to save it! I honestly haven't been into the roots yet, should I start there? I'm in Ontario Canada. Room gets full light with a jungle in the window haha.

If anyone has advice I'm all ears.

My guess is you over fertilized and burned the roots. Some advice, Start looking for a new tree. If it you are having it as an “inside tree” look into getting a ficus, they are easy to maintaina Dan hard to kill. I’ve never had luck with f$&@!n tea trees🤷‍♂️

my two cents are, do a bark scratch test to check for any greenery underneath, if its green, you may still have a chance, put it outside in a shaded area for now
if not. RIP.
