Lime tree losing leaves after scale infestation and clean up




Hi there,


I have had a potted lime tree for about a year and a half now. About 3 months ago I noticed some scale but didn’t realize that was what it was for about the first month. I have now cleaned all scale off using a mixture of dawn and water and paper towels and painstakingly have wiped everything down and sprayed neem oil about 3 times (every two weeks as the bottle suggests). But my tree is losing a LOT of leaves, about half at this point. I am wondering what I can do to stop any further damage and reverse this issue??


Willing to try just about anything, but I do live in an apartment so it does have to be within reason.


Thank you in advance.
