Hi everyone, I have this orange dream I bought from a nursery. When I bought it I pulled from pot but didnt disturb the rootball. Then filled space in new slightly bigger pot with a crappy miracle gro soil. I planned to repot next spring in some good stuff or possibly ground it . I dont think I over water it as its left to nearly dry out before watering and the rain doesn't really hit the soil from where its positioned
Everything was alright until a couple of weeks ago when all the new growth started coming in blackened and shrivelled. Also lots of tips on leaves are blackened . I have defoliated most of the bad leaves then sprayed once this week with systemic fungal spray incase it was anthracnose what I've read quite a bit on . I dont think its sun scorch because we havent had very sunny weather and all it really does up here is rain and cloudy . After defoliating it has tried to push out lots of new growth but it's all black and shrivelled. Oh yeah and I have been feeding weekly with pictured feed .
In summary I think it's either bad soil and not watering with rainwater combined, or a problem with over fertilizing or fungal.
Any opinions appreciated as I'm not sure what's going on here
