- We are indoors pruning the citrus trees and hopefully you enjoy and try growing citrus yourself. They are so fun and rewarding. Check out our new clothing line! http:www.freshpickedapparel.com
When I prune back my citrus I love to use some of the cuttings to start new trees and give as gifts.
How do you start them? Putting the cutting on water? How big has to be the cutting?
Yea I never have any luck
@@dirkrol3471 You want to cut them at a node section.....take the bottom of the clipping and score a line on it like 1/4 to 1/2 vertical cut on all sides....place it in water in indirect lighting. I would use super-thrive as well. You should get roots to grow
Thank you, I had never heard of flagging and the relationship to healthy plants! Watched this 2x to get all the info.
Thank you. I have a lemon tree from seed about 7 years and I wondered why it doesn’t produce fruit. Now I know it’s because I let it grow way to tall. And the other stuff about pruning I didn’t know either, very helpful.
citrus trees that are grown from seed are very likely to never produce fruit. you might get the lucky one but don't get your hopes up. also, IF (and thats a big if) it fruits the chances of being a lemon are slim to none.
@@hcp27henry Why exactly is that? Some of the seeds I planted a few weeks ago sprouted and I was excited to grow my own tree from seed, but I might want to reconsider it if they most likely won't ever produce fruit. Also, what kind of fruit would it produce instead then?
@@WoutJanWesterhof Because most of the citrus fruits that we have today are really just crossbred and hybrids humans have created over the year so the seeds tend to be genetically inferior or revert back to any other fruit it was cross with (like lime, lemon, orange; those are really just genetically modified citron). If you want citrus fruit I suggest you buy a grafted tree or one that was grown from a cutting.
@@hcp27henry Alright, thank you very much! I am new to all of this so it's good to not have any expectations to my plants when it comes to fruit. I'll definitely keep them and let them grow because I love seeing the development, but I'm probably also gonna buy a grafted tree then some time in the future!
Your contemplation about eating the fruit was just golden. It made me laugh. Also, this was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!! I googled "leaves falling off orange tree" and flagging never came up. But that is exactly what's happening to my tree. Love your videos-I've learned SO much!!
I bought my lemon Bush at about 2 ft tall from the grocery store last March lost all its leaves cuz it at Spider mites i pruned it, brought outside in june, I live in zone 4, it developed the buds in early September and now I have little bitty lemons about the size of a thumbnail and you can see the dimples on them! It's about 3 ft tall now
Could be a watering issue or a sunlight issue but fruit is mostly water if it doesn't have enough that could be the reason why they don't get bigger but I'd check to see how much sunlight it's getting I beilve it needs at least 6
My washing navel is 5 this year and the first year fruiting. My husband says the split oranges are better than any store bought. I can't wait for full ripeness in about a month.
Thank you so much for this video! I didn't know what was happening when my lemon and limes trees started flagging. Now I know what to look out for in the future and how to take care of it :3 Hopefully next year I can keep them alive through the winter with proper pruning.
Thanks so much for this! This was exactly what I was looking for! Love the “citrus in containers” content!
Mine are not grafted, I grew them from seed, they do so much better outside in the summer time than under my grow lights however. My oldest are 7 years old to youngest 2. Can't wait to get my geothermal greenhouse done and get them in the sun all day long. I compost mine once every two weeks, with my own homegrown compost. Thanks for the tips, as I have a grafted plum and one grafted apple outside, but I don't have the tip die off on my citrus , ever, always constantly growing and growing well. I do the old bonsai way, de-earth all the roots, trim them, and put in new soil. They do fabulous always, good hearty trees. I have tangerine, navel orange, grapefruit, and lemon.
I'm getting ready to repot mine now and wondered if I should root prune when I did. Thanks for the info!
always works great for citrus, gives them a fresh start
TJ Glen how are the fruits from the seeded trees?
I live in zone 9 in California (we get some frost, but no snow) & we have two big orange trees that have been producing delicious oranges since before my family moved here 40 years ago (the trees are one of the reasons my parents bought this house).
I know other people who have citrus trees & see them growing in yards around here & they all seem to grow well & produce a lot of fruit. I think you just have to be careful to protect them from frost in the first few years (but that's just a guess, since I've never started one).
he a eyiu been affected by citrus greening? And if so have u found a way to fight it off
Bought/planted a 2 ft Meyer lemon in a HUGE pot in March. It's Sept. It's now 4 1/2 ft tall! Thats not including the 2 ft pot. But no flowers.
Soooo, am going to trim it today.
Hope i get fruit next yr.
🇨🇱🇺🇸🙏❤️👍
Thank you Luke, we have two lemon plants about 5 inches tall so far, this was some great information that could help us. Have a great day!
Thank you for this video! My lemon tree was losing its leaves and it had many flaggings. I followed your instructions and after one week, lots of new leaves started to grow!
14:27 I bought some red grapefruits from the store around 7 or eight years ago and found a sprouted seed I planted it and it has grown well and to my surprise some pretty defensive thorns I topped it as you suggested due to dieing branches an it growing branch on one side more than the other,so now I just have to wait to see what she does now
I live near Sao Paulo in Brazil. Tons of citrus in Brazil. About the same distance from the equator as Miami but on the south side.
This was so helpful. Probably the most helpful pruning video I’ve seeen. I have an 8 year old container calomondine. But i feel I need to prune it back drastically. It fruits so much but a lot of the new branches are thin and leafs only on the outer most parts of branches. I’m nervous to prune it so much but it has a nice shape but it’s not as bushy as it used to be.
I just purchased my first citrus tree, a Meyer Lemon per the seller, & this video is incredibly valuable. Thank you!
“I don’t speak plant”..... so humble Luke. I would say that you most definitely DO speak plant, quite fluently in fact! 💖 🌱 ✨. Many thanks for all that you do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show and explain all the details! Especially for us first timers in citrus keeping. I have a Meyer lemon tree and a Rio red grapefruit tree coming soon and they will be potted in large terracotta to stay indoors during the cold months. Your citrus videos have been tremendous help!
I would definitely also eat the first orange lol. Very helpful video, I have a lemon and a lime that are tall and thin from explosive growth outside the last few summers so I need to cut them back to a reasonable indoor size.
Wait... you can grow citrus trees indoors? I had no idea! I'm so excited to get one now!
Ya I luv oranges n so tried last year around beginning of lockdown..from seed! N 3 saplings grew! 1 growing well now(almost2ft ), other is bit stunted n weak but growing still!
But ther r many things to know so watch lots of videos on how etc..I'm here now to figure how to prune n just realized therz something like a fork wen grows n u need to trim below 😶
al d best👍I just luv d smell of d leaves n waiting for the future for possibility of actual oranges some day!!!
I'm growing a orange, kumquat, lemon and lime tree indoors in pots they are growing very well just make sure you use a good citrus potting mix
luke i live in fl and alot of citrus can be grown in zone 8 luke satsumas and meyer lemons.
They can be grown successfully outside in some areas of zone 8 in far, far west Texas.
And South Texas! My citrus stay outside all year. I'm more careful with them in the summer actually, I may need to considee "over summering" them! That sun is no joke!
I am zone 7b/8a in Georgia and have several in pots that I bring in when the temps hit around freezing. I also have several mandarin oranges I've grown from seed from a tree in Tifton, GA. I leave them out all year long as a test to see how hardy they are. So far, they're still alive after 2 winters...
Amber Huselton or build a shade barrier? Lattice. Another hardier drought bush or trees.
..
I planted my lemon tree from seeds, now it’s 11 years old and no fruits yet but it is a beautiful tree for decoration 😊
i believe citrus has been known to grow in North Carolina. Some lemons are pretty cold hardy when established and well mulched. most of NC is zone 7. im in 7b, it might be worth trying my meyer lemon in the ground
Very interesting and useful - keep up the great work!
I just subscribed because you ate that fruit. 2 yr old video still bringing people in. Im happy to see your at 1 Million. That made me giggle idk dude thanks!
Loved the tips on Tomatoes best tomatoes i ever raised! THANK YOU!
Nice video, I just wish during this video somewhere you would have captured video of the pot so I could see what size pot you have your 5 ft citrus in. Wish I could get citrus and avocados to grow at my house in Maryland.
It's better to err on the side of "too small" rather than too big of a pot, for citrus especially. They do not like wet roots. Potting soil specifically for citrus trees is best because it drains faster than regular potting soil. I also add crushed old pots or rocks on the bottom of my pots to help with draining. I am just an amateur still, but this is what I do with my potted citrus trees. I learned everything on RUclips, lol. I will go through my play list and find the channel that helped me out most.
EDIT: Well, I was going to recommend the citrus playlist on the "Organics Best Urban Gardener" channel, but he deleted his old channel and all its videos, what a shame. He went into a lot detail regarding soil, pot sizes, and fertilization of citrus trees.
Amber Huselton nice of you to look!
What’s your steps for taking out the citrus trees during summer and bringing them back for winter? What do you do for bugs?
I know this is a year old, but citrus grow just fine in zone 8. I live in Savannah, GA, and there are plenty of outdoor trees that produce each year. ;)
How growth and care of an orange sprouted from seed would differ from one like yours, intentionally meant to grow indoors? My daughter sprouted 2 orange seeds (from grocery store orange) when she was 6 years old (she is now 18). One of the "saplings"(?) died off a couple years ago. We almost lost the other (named Sarah) but thankfully managed to nurse it back to life. We have been growing it indoors, usually putting it outside during summer (we are in zone 7 and she is out on the deck). I watched your video because she still doesn't look right. She is a tall (8 or 9'?) with mostly a single "trunk" with very little branching. She has never flowered. Also, her leaves are probably 3 or 4 times larger than the ones on your Washington naval orange. We fertilize her every 3 months with citrus plant food. I plan to prune her as you show in your video but I wonder if there is anything else we can do?
Thanks for the information! Could you share your method to control pests such as scale on citrus?
I'm able to grow citrus outdoor not a problem I'm zone 9b. And it gets very cold some days and also get snow on them to.
Yes, first I picked them too early, so I let them “mature” for a very long time. Still sour. They are small, smaller then mandarines. I use them as a lemon :). May be the next crop will be sweeter. Thank you for the reply.
I'm from Michigan as well, so I can relate lol. Thanks man really helped i have a 5 year old lemon tree.
You’re one heck of an aggressive pruner on citrus trees!
Very Informative. I just inherited a very large, very old potted Lemon. I was concerned with how to prune. Any advice would be extremely helpful
Hi Luke. Do you do anything with the leaves that grow from the main stem? What about the branches that seem to criss cross other branches? Should you let it fork or cut away the fork that doesn’t appear to be the main stem? I started my lemon from seed and it is contained to a pot. I keep potting up as it grows and it is healthy but I do keep it inside as I am afraid of pests that may attack it outside. Just wanted to double check before I prune for fear of killing it. Also, when is the best time to prune? I don’t think you covered that in your tutorial. Thanks so much for all your videos. I find them highly informative. Grow big or go home 🏡 Leanne
Hi Luke, thanks for this great video! We have had our Calamondin orange for many years here in the UK, indoors for most of the year and outside in the summer. This Christmas, to make space for a larger Christmas tree, it was moved to a different spot and this was next to the radiator. It was flowering and also fruiting at the start of this, but started to drop leaves eventually. I finally had time to do research on why this would happen and identified the radiator next to the terracotta pot. When I moved the tree back downstairs, it had dropped almost all its leaves. I started operation rescue by repotting it in a larger pot with special citrus compost, watering and spraying to create a humid environment. It now looks very bare, but has some foliage left which looks promising - glossy and healthy. I watched your video as I was looking for instructions on how to prune. I found it very helpful and it made me understand the physiology, but I still have some questions: how drastically should I cut it back - how can I tell if a branch is dead? And where do I cut? I'd love to send a photo, but not sure if I can upload one. I really hope I'll be able to revive the tree, it's been giving us joy for so many years! Any advice gratefully received, thank you! Eva
Hello, did you help your plant?
I'm in north Florida, zone 9a. Citrus trees grow well here.
This actually makes some sense now. I had a lime that grew not tall but pretty wide and a bit lob sided. Well because I took my citrus indoors, I decided to chop them all back. In this case, I took an entire section to better balance it and help it adjust to new conditions. Well, I also gave it fish emulsion and chelated iron. Lord and behold, it's attempting to have tons of flowers and has a new lime coming. So my question is this: can flagging be an issue if the plant grows too far wide in the same way it can get flagging upwards? Also, this helps a lot because now I know what's going on. Final question on blossom end rot but for tomatoes: number one reason for rot is inconsistency in watering followed by calcium. However, calcium is rarely the issue. However, I planted my plant in an enormous pot that contains a lot of soil and deep in it. So inconsistent watering, especially since the fabric pot was white in color keeping the roots cooler in 90+ degree weather, watering I don't think is an issue. My question for this is, is it possible that the water from.my hose is changing the pH so calcium becomes locked and what could be other possible problems and solutions?
Thanks for finally making a video on your indoor citrus plants ❤️
Thank you for the info Luke! I just got a grapefruit to sprout in hydroponics, hopefully I can keep it alive and growing that way. I also have multiple pineapples growing in hydroponics and they are huge now!
Hi , Very informative videos....I have a 3 year Old lemon tree, it’s about 6 ft. I have cut the suckers and cross branches off. Should I bit the bullet and cut in down too half size. Where does the new fruit come from??? I want a small tree..Tks John
You can grow citrus in zone 8A in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Always helpful to have questions answered. Thanks.
What a beautiful content, packed loads of useful tips and how's. Thanks for sharing 👍✅🍃🌿🌱🌲🌱
Question: I just got my lemon tree this summer. It is small but has lots of small fruits growing. It’s time to bring it in for the winter. Will these fruits continue to grow & ripen inside in a large window?
Yes if you give them additional light and continue fertilizing as it was growing season (because of the additional light they will not go dormant or slow-active even if it would be winter, darker and cooler)
I’d be cool if you made a video about thai limes (kaffir limes), etrogs, yuzu and the Buddha’s hand. Maybe plant the seeds and vlog as they grow. They all have amazing aromas. I was only able to grow one thai lime out of seed and it’s still very small but I ordered the seeds of the etrogs!
You might have to wait up to thirty years for fruit. Good luck! Try starting plants from cuttings, fruit in a year or two.
@@krisbaker9427 if I make a cutting from the kaffir like plant would that also work? Or the tree has to be a fruiting tree already
Thanks for the reminder of pruning. Always the last thing I think of doing. Can you talk about why unripe fruit fall off ? I brought my citrus in for the winter and a few green oranges fell off. Can you advise?
Thanks Luke
Luke, have you repotted your citrus yet? Mine have been in their pots for around 6-7 years and I believe it's time. I've gotten a 'simple' potting soil without all of the additives and I'm going to repot into the same pots. I'm wondering if I should do any root pruning and wondered if you had done it. Thanks for the video. All but one of my trees has given me fruit (the Mexican Thornless Key Lime hasn't) and your commentary explains why. That thing grows so fast and so big that, despite the gorgeous display of flowers each year, it can't hold any fruit. My baby is about to get a major haircut, lol... :D
Check citrus bonsai pruning. The amount of removal they do is insane. Different purposes but allows a normal citrus grower to understand the extents to which one can go if done right. But as far as I understand pruning roots is for when you can't get a bigger pot anymore. They don't like being root bound.
Can you do an indoor care video for your Warm climate perennial plants starting with Citrus? Would be really interested. I'm surprised the trees so lush in a near winter window.
I live in Las Vegas and I’m growing a lime tree outside
Thanks for sharing. My lemon has 3 trunks. Should I cut back two trunks to just have the main trunk grow?
Tanks for the good info on your video. I have a Orange for 2 years new fruits take to ripe in 2 years on a Sunny spot..
Thanks for your help
Thank you for that, my key lime tree was looking pretty sad and I wasn't sure how much was too much. Question about the new growth though, will new growth come from the woody parts or only green parts. Thanks again,
I have a baby lime tree that has flagged completely. I'm trying to see if it's a total loss or if it will eek out a few more leaves to get going again. Is this a total loss? Should I give up, yet? Zone 7a and when I set these young plants outside last summer they seemed to burn, so have kept them inside under grow lights on a timer ever since.
I have branches rubbing. Growing into each other. On a tree I would take them off. Myers Lemon would I do the same?
Awesome content this is just what I needed. You’re adorbs! ❤️ from Iowa
Hello. I realized I didn't do a proper pruning this year. Can I still prune in Sept? I live in the Baltics. Also, I just repotted my 2yo calamondin tree mid-August. When I first bought it, it was around 1 foot and bearing lots of fruits. It had fruit also 2-3 times after that. The third time was less and didn't mature.
I really appreciate your videos, they are so helpful! I do have two questions. Should I prune off any branches of my meyer lemon tree that are growing straight up from another branch (as with pruning peach trees)? Also, when would be the best time to prune Meyer lemon trees? Thanks for your help!
4:30? Oh, I don't want to live there. 6:00 is early enough! I have an orange tree now. :) I think it's going to be beneficial against pests also!
Hi Luke. Thanks for the information on citrus trees. I've been growing lemon and orange trees for 3 years now. My trees are from seeds that I took from fruit from the grocery store. They're getting taller but I've yet to see flowers on them. Will I have to wait until they are 10 years old before any fruiting happens?
If I just transplanted my young grapefruit tree (about 5') to a bigger pot, should I wait a little before pruning?
I live in southwestern BC. My yuzu was planted about 2.5 years ago inside and didn't seem too joyful. Then, I raised the big pot about a foot above ground on a stool, and it grew 12 to 15 inches this summer and has baby shoots on top. It is one tall stalk with leaves (at the base it's wood about thick as a pencil). Although it looks happy now, I am worried there are no offshoots at all. Is there anything I should do? Don't want to mess with a happy plant....
Hi, I’m afraid my orange tree is beyond helping but maybe you can help me. My tree is very old - was a gift to me and it is very tall - definitely over five feet, but all the best growth is at the top. The trunk is bare. Is it too late to prune this tree and regenerate growth at the bottom?
Question: I note you cut straight across, but I've read other articles that say it's best to cut at a 45 degree angle. Does it really matter?
I am trying to start some orange trees from some seeds I have. Is there a reliable way to make sure they germinate, and do well?
Hi
When to prune? Durning the summer when it’s outside or during the winter when it’s indoor?
Thanks
I noticed roots coming from my graft area; Should I be concerned and how do I prevent it?
Thanks. I did learn some cool new things.
Hello Friens, I've been subscribed for a while now. Your info is railwaysvery us4ful
thanks, need to bring my lemon and lime trees inside before they die
Do it gradually, first one night inside, then outside again. After that two nights inside and outside again. Do this a few times so your trees can get used to the indoor environment
@@plants_before_people5329 unless it's freezing outside... Just bring them in. I've never had to acclimate going indoors, only outdoors from inside.
You didn't discused fertelization and the amount of Light and temperature it needs to stay healty in a indoor inviorment.!?.
"how to prune indoor citrus" - why would I talk about those things in a pruning video?
He mentions the video where he discusses that info.
"How to Grow Citrus Trees Indoors EASY! - Complete growing guide" ruclips.net/video/4eTnJ-MeM1c/видео.html
(A lot of viewers like shorter videos, and breaking it into more than one makes it easier to find the info you're looking for, so it's smart to post separate videos.) It would have been nice if it was linked in the description, though.
Awesome video Luke looks like I got some pruning to do lol
Do you stop the root stock from growing by just pruning it? I have a peach tree that keeps sending out shoots from the root stock 😬
Just cut back the shoots. I have a couple of dwarf peaches that do this.
Hello! Love you videos. I have a dwarf orange, lime, lemon, and olive trees in my greenhouse in containers. They are 3 years old. I am putting raised planter beds in my greenhouse instead of only having pots. Can I transplant them into the raised planter beds? I have a greenhouse lighting system that keeps it warm and well lit year round. I live near Seattle. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips. But I have a different question. It rains everyday in the Philippines now. Should I keep my lemons in pots away from the rain? I heard lemons don't like too much water.
You probably don't have the ability to answer everyone commenting on your videos but in case you are around I was just curious about one thing. I want to build a home design that has a 120 foot long greenhouse on the south facing side that I'm going to fill with trees. I was curious about what you said about not growing them tall because of being in a pot? Do you know of any resource I could look up to see how large of a pot I'd need to use ( or growbed ) to utilize the full height of the greenhouse? say 8 to 10 feet tall citrus? do you know how much volume of soil i'd need for the tree to not be stressed?
This video was super helpful and came at exactly the right time for me, thank you! I now understand why my lemon tree was growing as it was, with flagging etc. Is it normal for a lemon tree to shed older leaves at certain times of year? My tree looks healthy and has new buds/flowers but has dropped a lot of older leaves from older branches shortly after I brought it inside for the winter.
I'm not sure, but I think citrus trees are all evergreens. I don't think they have a time where they drop more leaves--probably just as the leaves age & new leaves grow.
I'm guessing it might have been from the shock of being moved, but I don't have experience with over-wintering indoors, so I can't really say. I'd just make sure it gets regular water and as much sun as possible, and it should be fine.
Good luck!
I know this is years after your video but I have a question, my orange tree is about 5' and 7 years old grown from seed, was a fluke of me just putting seeds in dirt to be honest. super healthy plant, no flagging, very little leaf loss but still no flowers. A lot of sun and grow lamps in the winter, any idea as to why it may not be flowering?
Hello there. Say I have the 40w soltech solutions LED full spectrum grow light. Would that be enough for the tree to survive? Their blooming and fruiting and their always indoors being all my windows are North.
Our citrus is outdoors with climate a bit like Florida here in New Zealand. Our mandarin is a story tall. The fruit is too high for us to harvest. How far back can I prune this mammoth beast and keep it fruiting? The tree must be about twenty years old.
do you still use the Eco Scraps fertilizer?
Where can I buy good lemon or any citrus in Southwest Michigan? Please suggest local or online store . Thanks
It has small thorns growing aswell
Hi Luke! Thanks for the video very helpful. I have a Meyer lemon tree, earlier this season it flowered but they fell off. It hasn't flowered since and I'm getting nervous. I'm in a zone 10 and the tree is outside in a pot. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Are u watering too much or too little? sometimes that can be the cause
When was the last time you gave your plant phosphorus and potassium? Phosphorus aids in flower production I would recommend giving it some bone meal
Flowering normally will happen within the next couple of months. I rarely get a second set of flowers if a tree doesn't set fruit. Get a good citrus tree fertilizer - Espoma and Jobes both make organic ones and I also use one by Dyna Gro called Foliage Pro (9-3-6) that's recommended on some citrus sites I follow. You can also alternate using Fish Emulsion. Once the flowers start to bloom, fertilize and keep fertilizing on a schedule. The Dyna Gro contains some of the trace minerals needed by citrus - as does the Espoma - so I normally use those and have had good success...
I've had a calamondin orange for a few months and just want it to concentrate on growing for now. It has quite a lot of fruit already...should I cut them all off if I just want growth for this season?
Not crazy at all to try your first orange of the tree!! 😀 cant wait to see more. Can you show us the tree when its in full bloom and full of fruit? I live in the mountains of so cal so i have seen many many citrus trees outside but i am not in a zone to grow outside. Im very curious how they produce so compact.
Try to air layer an existing citrus tree or qraph a cutting and always top the plant so it grow wider for more fruit instead of grow tall
Thank you for all the great advice. I too live-in Michigan, it's the end of August and I'm thinking about having to bring my lime tree inside. Is there a good/bad time to prune back my tree in the ways you suggested?
Currently I have 6 individual limes of various sizes on my tree and one "cluster" of blossoms. When we first got this tree there were several clusters like this and over time all but 4 limes fell off. Should I leave a cluster alone or take off blossoms until there are just one or two. Thanks for any advice.
I know this is off topic but I noticed your nails have white spots. That usually indicates you need magnesium. Just a little fyi!!
New subscriber and fellow Michigander down river area. I started growing 3 calamansi tree (wife is Filipino) and looking good 20 inches high. I was wondering about grow lights, the spot in my house sadly not much natural light. So with short days as you know here in Michigan, do you use any grow lights on your citrus trees? And if you do how many hours you use them? Thanks now back to see your other videos.
My citrus is in the garage/workroom. It's setting lots of flowers. I have a shop light on 24 hours a day. I need to put on a timer so how many hours do I need to have the light on. Thanks
Is this the best time to prune? My lemon trees are growing new leaves right now and wasn’t sure if I should prune that off or not. Mine doesn’t have any leaf drop at the ends but it dropped some leaves from the main trunk
Might be a watering issue if u change the amount your watering the issue should clear up
Flat Earth Sage I think you’re right. When I moved them inside I didn’t water them for a 2-3 weeks because it was so wet when I brought them in but now I’m watering 1-2 times a week and I haven’t noticed any new leaves dropping.
@@darlenemcswine6418 usually I water mine about every 4 days seems to work for my plant I understand since I've been growing my Meyer lemon indoors that the watering can be a little bit difficult to get down lol
@@darlenemcswine6418 also I beilve humidity plays a big role too in the health of the plant as I've recently learned
Flat Earth Sage I agree with you. I’ve been looking into getting a humidifier but it’s just not good timing right now...at least until Christmas. But I have a pot of water on the pellet stove and it evaporates that a little bit(not much though) and I have a diffuser running every night(but that only holds probably a cup of water).
Hi there. I planted a lemon from a seed 3 years ago. It is now 2 feet tall. I'm in uk so the plant is indoor. Can youjelp what to do the plant because it is getting tall and nothing else happening to it. Thanks
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing!!
Great information Luke.
Thanks once again for some useful information!
