Had an absolutely beautiful, full plant we received as a housewarming gift a few months ago. I kept it going and looking decent with frequent water and moving out of the full 100+ degree summer sun. I was feeling pretty good about it. Then we went away for 2 weeks and just came back to a hard, brown, stringy mess. I'm not sure whether it was the lack of water or that the temperature dipped too low while we were away, but it appears resuscitation ain't gonna happen and there's no evidence of wild critters to blame it on. Hoping the baby lime tree hangs on.
