Lime tree spots on leaves
Comments (1)looks like a slug or snail; but it could also be from being a bit dry in hot weather....See MoreLime tree leaves yellowing from bottom up
Comments (1)Your soil looks to be very peaty. Many of the premixed soils being sold are horrible! Citrus like sharp drainage (something they share with palms btw). If your mix is peaty, it is holding on to too much moisture. I would hold off on watering and repot in the Spring with a better soil. Some citrus growers advocate a "gritty mix" (I don't use it, because I grow many outside for a good part of the year, and can't keep up with watering in the stuff.) Citrus will be happy though with your standard soils used for palms (one that drains well). P.S., Even those premixed soils marketed as being for Palms and Citrus are bad--too peaty. P.S.2, Persian lime in container....See MoreKaffir lime tree yellowing of leaves
Comments (24)Silica, I figured you would say the opposite or make my advice seem invaluable. Let the members see for for themselves..What a joke,........I hope this person chooses wisely since I have never had to spray anything on my foliage, ever, not since I discovered the right mixes and fertilizer after years of doing this previously before coming here. Listening to the advice of what you and other so called professionals say lead me to dead ends before spending years at the container forums with the right people. I have been growing problem free Citrus Trees for years, and have proved that here and yet I have yet to see yours over the years. You fought with me over bark saying that Coconut Chips was far better than bark and yet you stopped using them after you failed in them while encouraging others to grow in that instead of the 5.1.1 mix. You never like me for encouraging I tlothers to use it. You say you used the these mixes for years when you never did You never documented it or have proof you did.If you want people to run out and try this or that to correct issues when it can all be done with one good fertilizer, the right regimen and in the right mix,that's fine. I've tried to reach out to you and work with you and yet you still refuse. That's fine too You are probably getting a kick out of it since most new ones here have not got a clue that you have been doing this to me for years, staying in a different page than I here. I can promise you that I will not give up helping others while I presume that it would satisfy you if I did. . When was the last time you agreed with anything I had to say or complimented my years didicated or consistent efforts here? Your only purpose to me has been to quash my credibly here lately, and I'm not the only one who sees that now you move in and look like the good guy deliberatly being xtra nice to the ones that I've gotten to know or help to rally them on to your agenda? Please, let it be known, that I too can copy and paste many articles that you have been putting together here from Google and the tropical forums to pretend you know it all. At times word for word on what Millet says......I've known you for years and you have never had a fondness of me or my ability or desire to help others with the methods I've learned here for years. Thanks., L.N . Everything grows just right, perfectly well, as long as the roots are running correctly, their needs are met, and the nutrients are able to be utilized..I would rather help others address the root of their problems, than waste their time or money to bandaid them just to have them keep reoccurring. As the pot shows it is salt issues, and the soil of choice causes that if no proper flushing of them is done, and the clay pot if exposed to cold temps as John says are most likely the cause. But I assume most of the time your climate is warm which would not be an issue with clay. L.N If you would like to e-mail me, please do so. Since I have helped dozens of members here for years with success, I would be willing to help you. My e-mail is milerno_1@yahoo.com If you choose to do it Silica's way, you have that choice and I wish you all the luck)))) It was great to meet you....See MoreLemon, Lime & Orange tree - Leaves look tired, curled, yellow.
Comments (5)Silva- My trees look just like yours lately... I am in central Florida so took soil samples to UF 8n January. We were in a drought then. Numbers were ok. Few leaf miners but that is no big deal. Then about May? the trees starting looking poor. Much rain. Over the summer we have had 2-6" almost daily. On August 20th we had the total amount of yearly rain already. Took another sample of soil in and times/fertilized. UF says the huge amount of rain is washing nutrients from the soil throughout our region. The trees are not really 'thirsty' so even when fertilizer is applied it is not taken up because ground is always wet. Then that days rain ...and the next... and so on... wash away the nutrients. Everyone zI know is having same problem. Scary because I don't want our wells contaminated with fertilizer salts....See MoreLola Gato
