Sounds more like a fungal problem to me.

If you do not have any more leaves, soil is bad, branches dying...go for it. Though I normally won't touch a tree this weak, as you mentioned, nothing to lose now.

Discard all soil, leaves and branches. Treat/disinfect your tools and hit the tree with fungicide after. Actually, I would treat the whole tree with fungicide before re-planting (if this is mine).

Good luck!

Hi alexandra

Leave the tree in the pot as it is, water carefully, and dont leave the tree in the rain and sun....and keep fight the spidermites.
It may die, no matter what, due to the spidermites, but to repot now, will kill it, I should think

kind regards Yvonne

Yvonne,

Did you factor that she is in Athens, Greece? Just checking.

Thank you.

Yes, keep the tree fairly dry.

Thank you both!
It is still too hot here, 19C min. and 28C max.
I will move the pot inside in a hallway with lot of light. I feel ashamed I didn't think of this earlier Embarassed

This place I call my ICU for the trees in need.
