How to fertilize Tilia Tomentosa

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Tilia Tomentosa after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Struggling Lime Tree Hello, I am new to the Greg community and I was wondering if anyone has experience with lime trees? Since I have gotten this tree it has been healthy and then suddenly all its leaves dried up and dropped off. The first time all the branches stayed a green color, dulled a little and then it came back. Now currently during the second time the branches have all turned brown. Any suggestions and guidance would be appreciated, thank you.
