Meyer Lemon Leaf Drop and Yellowing: Classic Overwatering in a Pot

A potted Meyer lemon drops fruit and turns yellow/brown; soil stays damp despite weekly watering. This is textbook overwatering. Citrus in containers must dry out between waterings. Stop watering until pot is completely dry (lift to gauge weight). If soil is saturated, remove root ball, air‑dry a day, then repot. Ensure drainage holes. Other causes (nitrogen deficiency, salt burn) show different symptoms first.
