I have foliage pro, which I believe can be applied foliarly. What do I do. Literally mix with water and spray on leaves? Morning or evening? Funny I just put about 4 tbs of osmocote plus into the pot today. Below is a current pic. If I can find the old thread I will put up the pic from may. Amazing difference.

Okay. First thing - is this little lemon tree getting sprinkled? If so, this is part of your issue. Citrus do not like to be in the path of sprinklers. They do much better with a deep watering via drip once or twice a week (depending upon how hot the temps get). If you're close to the beach, you probably will not have hot enough temps to water more than once a week. Lilly Miller citrus fertilizer is fine. It does contain micronutrients. Vigoro Citrus & Avocado fertilizer with micronutrients (that is the key for you) is also fine. Actually, the best NPK ratio is 5:1:3, but it's hard to find. As long as you've got a higher N (nitrogen) than P or K, as citrus are heavy nitrogen feeders, and you've got micronutrients included, you should be fine. Humic acid will also help, so look for that in your ingredients line up. I would recommend Grow More Citrus Growers Blend and mix it up as a foliar spray to help give your tree a good micronutrient feeding. Repeat in 3 weeks. Do your foliar spray in the evening. I would concur that you're probably looking at a micronutrient deficiency, possibly magnesium. Usually, you'll see a micronutrient deficiency with too much water and cold temps, so I would definitely check the roots of your lemon, to make sure it's not sitting in a puddle of water (i.e., in clay). Even though you're by the beach, you can still have pockets of clay. If you're in more sandy soil, then you're seeing an issue with both macro and micronutrients not staying in your soil, but washing out. If this is the case, then make a nice well around your tree out to the drip line. Fill with some worm castings and then top with compost. Keep both away from the trunk to prevent rot. Put your fertilizer in the well and water in deeply. Fertilize every 3 months and also I would recommend a foliar application with Citrus Growers Blend as well until your tree greens up. Patty S.

Sorry it took so long to reply,but I forget where I post and it takes me a while to find the respnses LOL. I have 7 chameleons right now,but that is down from 13.I am soon to be adding to my collection.I have 5 melleri chameleons and 2 veileds.I like working with chameleons from cool,montane conditions and many are very difficult to acclimate.I enjoy th challenge and sense of accomplishment I get from taking an emaciated and brutalized animal and making them healthy again.The melleri get about 2' long,but there are unconfirmed reports of them reaching 38''.Melleri are unique,in that,they communicate with infrasonic vibrations and appreciate social conditions in captivity.They know me and eat from my hand,where a new person will cause them to show stress.They are housed in a 20'L X 6'W X 6'T cage in my basement with mercury vapor bulbs providing all of their light needs and the need of the many plants as well.There is one window,but it is shaded by the house above and allows very little light.I recreated a montane jungle for them by running an automatic mist system throught the cage and supplying lots of suspended branches and plants.I am VERY careful about what fertilzers and pesticides get used in or around them.They are very sensitve to toxins,b/c the have tiny kidneys compared to their size and are easily poisoned.The temps are around 78F with warmer basking spots and night drop to 68-70F,which they like to have.A tentative list of plants that are in with them include,2 ficus 'ali',a florida strangler fig,banjo leafed ficus,fish-tailed palm,schefflera,draceana,pothos,mistletoe fig,and numerous other small plants.The chameleons are in that set-up during the cool months and are outdoors in warm months in custome cages, I built with shadecloth.I do have pictures,but I am a victim of Kodak's software that will not let me share,except via e-mail.I will be glad to send pix to anyone interested.The chams don't eat plants,but occasionally get the notion to browse a leaf or two.They will accept hand-fed greens like mustard and turnip though.I breed 9 types of tropical roaches for them to eat,as well as my own crickets,stick insects,and other fare.They also get silkworms and hornworms on occasion.They are a lot of work(this species),but I enjoy them and they complement my plnat keeping by having the same or similar needs to the plants.E-mail me at extensionofgreen@yahoo.com for pictures and visit www.melleridiscovery.com to learn more about melleri.That site is run by my friend Kristina,and I have two of her captive bred babies.It is a great site.

Hello Folks,I have a lemon tree in a 5 gal pail and I change the dirt ( oh shucks can't remember when I changed it last )but anyway it gives me fruit every year- this year I got 11 lemons from it an I don't know what kind it is- during the winter months it flowers and I polinate it using Q- Tips going from flower to flower- this old couple who lived down the street gave to me about 30 years ago and they had it for 20 years- don't know where they bought it- I think Fla. not sure but what I want to know is can I put Coffee Grounds around the base of the tree since it's a acid tree? Thanks, Slim
