Yellow Tips of Meyer Lemon Tree
Comments (18)The roots are dying so no fertilizer is going to work unless you flush out that mix or use a whole fresh one and once the plant starts to recover, you fertilize as Steve suggested. If you have access to rain water or bottle distilled even better to use unless you change the whole mix including in the root ball. You are just going to further damage the roots with fertilizer in that mix. Flush, flush, flush)...See MoreMeyer lemon leaf tips yellowing
Comments (5)Just looks like salt burn from a build-up of salts from your fertilizer combined with a heavy slow draining potting mix. I am not a container guy; but some here will give you better advice. BTW your tree looks fine... don't stress... few leaves are perfect....See MoreWOndering if 1 of my Meyer Lemon Trees in not a Meyer afterall?
Comments (12)Sorry I could not get sooner to thank you all for posting so far, but I had some internet connection problems. All seems ok though now! Thanks for sharing all of your opinions and even pictures!!!! Thank you Mike for the congrats! This year is my first pretty good year getting fruit on most of my trees, some for the first time. I had given them a plant light last year, along with a new fertilizer I found this spring, and that seemed to help. I still need to get a better light for them now that they are inside. I started a post a month of so ago, and got a lot of helpful info from you all (thanks!). I am just deciding whether I am going to keep them upstairs in the living area where they have always been when I bring them in every winter, or transport them down to the basement. If I do basement, I would go HID, but if I stay upstairs, the HID would be too much, so I would just need something to supplement. Even the cheapy GE plant spot light I got last year helped well compared to just window light, so I am sure if I moved up to something a little better, I will be able to keep my leaves, flowers, and fruit attached for the whole winter season. ANyway, so I am finally getting good fruit to grow after all these years of waiting and learning how to keep them happy while indoors for the winter. (oh, and another MAJOR thing I learned from here that helped was how to make good REAL container mixes for citrus). Although I did not think of this before until mksmth said so and mksmth is right, that the flowers are all white so far. I will check again over the next few days as they get bigger. A few should open up soon. I guess the last test will be tasting it. But I feel so happy that the tree got fruit for the first time, that I am waiting till the last possible moment to pick them because I am enjoying just seeing them on the tree finally! I am also wondering what would be the correct thing to make with the first lemons. I would like to make something special with them just because they are special. Any suggestions? LOL! I will keep this updated as the blooms get bigger. THanks again for all of the help! Christy...See MoreGetting indoor meyer lemons to grow not bloom ( a healthy meyer)
Comments (6)I have read also to allow the tree to do its flowering cycle because it has something to do with hormones. If you remove the flowers, the tree will just continue to push them out. If you don't want fruit, wait until the cycle has passed and then remove the fruit. Last year my tree pushed out blossoms, set fruit and then I ended up unknowingly knocked most of them off while moving it through my sunroom door. The plant focused on foliage the rest of the year....See Moreroselee z8b S.W. Texas
