Short post! My lemon plant is going crazy again!!

Last year my lemon plant gave me a single delicious lemon, so I was super excited and tentative when it made five lemons all in one go! I wasn’t even sure that a plant in a pot could sustain so much fruit, but luckily I have both supermarket fertiliser and my special supply of pigeon-poop-water, lovingly provided by my pigeons, which I’m sure is the secret ingredient!

I really am going to become a crazy plant lady…
I hope the elephant ear plant is okay, I only bought it a couple of weeks ago and it’s dropping leaves faster than it’s sprouting them. I attribute it to transplant shock, so we’ll see if it recovers.
My ZZ plant is really not doing well though. One of the two stems is dead, so I figure if it’s diseased, the second one is also dead. If they don’t do anything I might need to just count it as a loss and start again (with a more developed plant; I deliberately bought the baby version but now I’m thinking it wasn’t such a good idea, and right now the shops have bigger ones).
Good news is, the lemon plant I bought dropped its first set of baby leaves, but now it’s growing more leaves, so I think it’s recovered from transplant shock and also now it’s used to the windy and sunny conditions on my balcony :D
