My mock orange is dying

I bottom water this plant about once every 2 weeks. It had flowers a while bag but it's getting yellow and dry. Leaves are turning brown. Please help! #mockorange #citrusplant
Hi, Esther! I went to take a peek at your plant card, but your plants are private and I can't see the details.

Can you take a picture of the whole plant? Can you also share the plant details with us?

From the portions of the pictures, I'd say that your plant isn't getting enough sunlight and the leaves look pretty dry so if the plant is near a heater or air conditioner, you might need to water more often.

Hi Sarah!
It's not doing well unfortunately. It was caught in a bad storm recently and started deteriorating after.. it gets outside sun all day.
Thanks for the picture! Sometimes weather can cause issues but as long as the stems are still green, your plant has a chance!

If you scrape off the bark near the bottom of the stems and the flesh under is still green, your plant is still alive.

If the stems are still green, you can snip off the leaves gently so the plant has a chance to grow new leaves.

I think it gets pretty rainy where you are during this time, so I would make sure that your plant has soil that doesn't stay wet too long. You don't want to have the roots overwatered.

Do you have a cold season? I looked it up and it seems that your temperatures are pretty warm all year.
