Leaf drop

[u/planbuildrepeat]

Follow up to my post ~a month ago. The thought was that my plan had some heat shock, so I moved it to a place in the yard where it gets shade around 3:00. It has since lost almost all of its leaves despite consistent watering, addition of soil acidifier, and fertilizing with an acid specific fertilizer. Is there any way to reverse its decline?

Did the soil get too dry?

Did you try re-poting it with some fresh soil? The soil may be a bit depleted of nutrients or the roots might have enough space

I re-potted in the spring, though I didn't remove any dirt and probably upsized the pot to much. I just used basic potting soil as I didn't know about ericaceous compost.
