Any chance of saving my Kumquat tree start?  
It was doing fine for a couple of years and suddenly turned dry and crispy after a single “Planta” recommended watering.  
Any chance or is it too late to save?  
I’ve read that soggy soil can cause drought like conditions in plants, so I just changed out the soil. The roots all looked ok and I didn’t see any rot or damage.
