Leaves dropped after fertilizing

#Camellia will the leaves come back in the spring or is it gone?
2ft to light, direct
Last watered 2 weeks ago
I’d say it will come back i probably wouldn’t have fed it this close to winter . Give it the old chop chop and I bet it will come back
U need to be very careful w fertilzer or u could burn ur plant. All i use is SuperThrive liquid vitamins (1/4t/galnof water) Amazon $12. On my 3rd bottle in yrs rime for over 80 plants so economical. As far as Nutrients, the massive amount of nutrients u get from newly rwpotting ahould take u from repot to repot (that is once/yr or if plant doubles growth, whichever comes first). Also, make sure ur using filtered water so u dont hwve the Cl- & other minerals in tap or rain water. Other than carnivorous plants, i dont recommend distilled only because u wont have the N+ ur plant needs (like we need oxygen). Those r my thoughts anyway! Best of luck but if u wanna use fertilizer old-school, i would get advice from someone vert schooled in using that form of β€œfeedingβ€œ
