The other week I bought a plant at B&Q. The tag has gone missing so I don't
know what it is.

It's like a small orange tree (30cm high ish) with small orange fruit on,
although it's not quite the same as the one they are selling at the moment
for Mothers' Day.

Anyway, I've kept it moist, and in a cool conservatory, however the leaves
have all dried p and drop of if touched. The fruit is starting to shrivel
too. Before someone says it's dead, the stem still seems green and 'alive'
and so do some of the small branches.

I suspect it needs repotting as the roots are starting to poke out the soil.

Any advice?

Many thanks,

Lee.

Citrus mitis?

Brown leaves doesn't sound good.
Have you kept it *too* moist?
Where have you kept it?
Any fine spiders webs on the tips of the shoots? Any round brown scales
on the underneath of the leaves?

Could be a Kumquat

Anyway, I've kept it moist, and in a cool conservatory, however the leaves
have all dried p and drop of if touched. The fruit is starting to shrivel
too. Before someone says it's dead, the stem still seems green and
'alive'
and so do some of the small branches.

I suspect it needs repotting as the roots are starting to poke out the
soil.

Any advice?

Let us know if you manage to get it to recover.
