Avocado Tree Losing Leaves?

Avocado Tree Losing Leaves - distressed tree, droopy leaves and brown leavesMy avocado tree is a year and some change old. He's been really healthy; I've transplanted him before, and even moved across states with him. I have him in soil that doesn't retain too much water, since I know they can easily get root rot, and I water him about every two days or so and it's been working. But all of a sudden he's dropping a massive amount of leaves!

I give him sunlight when I relax on my patio, and I even talk to him. I love my tree very much and I don't know why the sudden change. Do I need to put him in a bigger pot? Does he need better soil? I'd be devastated if he dies, please help. (The two photos show him now and before.)

Give it the best sun light you can,cut the watering in half,maybe 2 times a week only when the soil is dry.Try a larger pot for the roots to have more room,sometimes when the seasons change, so does your tree! It may loose leaves,but will soon have more!

It may be time to repot it.

Normally trees like this once they get to be a certain age and height they need to be planted in the ground to really grow right. You should try getting a larger pot to plant yours in. When you do this make sure you shake the roots of the plant and open them up.

it sound like they are root bound and need to be opened up so they get water and start growing again. Add new potting soil to the pot and water it every 2 to 3 days depending on the soil and how wet it is. Give it plenty of sunlight too.
