Lemon Meyer leaves yellow veining then drop?
Comments (5)Starloc, Might it be because I accidently let that room get to cool at night for a few nights, which in turn cooled the soil at night ? I normally keep the room 65 degrees and up at night, but for a few nights, meaning at least a week, it got down into the high 50's low 60's at night. I warmed it back up again. If you say it could be a nutrient defficiency, or that the plant is upset, could it be that it took up no nutrients when soil was cold at night for a while which in turn caused the leaf problem and drop in this case? Does this make sense? I hope so. I hope it is just a matter of soil temp. I have been keeping the lights on as normal, and now that I am keeping it warmer in there at night, I hope the leaf drop stops. By the way, there is no new leaves replacing the old ones yet. All the fallen leaves are from the bottom and center of tree and through out. When I get new growth, these branches don't fill out again, I just get new growth from the top of the branches while the center stays bare. Strang ha? I am having no problems with all my other citrus other than this "lemon meyer". I am begining to think that "lemon meyers" are a very sensitive plant...lol All it seems they like is very warm conditions and very sunny conditions too. Anything other than this they seem to dislike. To me, I think they are more finicky than my gardenias. Oh well, as long as the branches don't start dying back, I hope it will fill out in summer again. Please let me know what you think ok. Thanks alot....See MoreMeyer Lemon Yellowing leaves and spots

Comments (2)I can't tell what the spots are because the pic stays small for me..I can help you a bit though to make it happier..You are doing a few things right and I commend your approach.. Just a few questions plus more) Did your tree have those spots when you bought it or shortly after? Do you use tap water? How much Foliage Pro a week do you apply? When did you bring it in? What Zone do you live in? Did you know that Citrus Trees do not require humidity to perform well? Have you taken a look at the roots gently lifting it from its pot? I too use vinegar and Foliage Pro, but I am using a mix on all my trees that allows it to drain out freely..You should not have to use Iron if your using that fertilizer, and in fact nothing else at all.. This soil you speak of, can you take a picture if it? Take some out of the pot and get a close up of it please...I am getting the feeling the mix it's in is the cause behind your problem... How come you are not making sure the root zone is almost dry? Why are you spraying the leaves every day? Do you use a fan? How close are the lights to that tree from the canopy top? Why are you using lights? Do you have a sunny window? Sorry for all the questions) Mike...See MoreContainerized Meyer lemon: mottled yellow leaves, leaf drop
Comments (1)Your tree is suffering from changing light conditions and also from transplant shock. I would ditch the Jobes in favor of perhaps Foliage Pro and Osmocote Plus, or Espoma Citrus Tone organic....See Morejohnmerr
