Potted Orange tree

11 years ago
About 2 weeks ago I repotted my Valencia orange tree and since then it has been dropping leaves at about 8 per day. The garden centre where I bought it told me to use a potting mixture which I bought from them which is coconut based and they told me not to fertilise for a couple of months as it had fertiliser in the potting compost. The plant is not sitting in water as I know they don't like wet feet. I water every couple of days and when I water the water does not come straight out the bottom. Apart from the leaves dropping it seems healthy. I live in a hot climate with no rain and I have put it on my patio. It gets full sun in the afternoon. Another blog I read says green leaves drop when it's under watered . Does anyone know if this is usual, is it stressed from the repotting. Will the leaves grow back? Any advice would be welcome.
