Are your CITRUS TREE LEAVES going yellow? What causes it and how do you fix it?

Yellow leaves on lemon, orange, lime or mandarin trees are very common. But they are an indicator or deficiencies in the soil so it’s important to fix the problem.
Fortunately, the solution is easy - let’s show you how

I've had a win using your handy tip, what I did was mixed the salts with water and poured it down the deep root watering tubes.

Both my trees leaves are turning yellow thank you so much. I keep Epsom salt, has lots of uses.

Another great video. Thanks bec

You are so welcome!

Yes a lot better ❤

[@tasst2674]

Thank you for this video. Might this also be the problem with my pomegranate tree as well?

[@pathiggins9871]

I live in the UK where it rains a lot. My Lemon tree has yellow leaves and some of the leaves are curling inwards. It’s not an old tree. It’s currently growing in a pot. I’m going to try the Epsom salts you suggested for the yellowing but why are the leaves curling up? I have just discovered your channel and I love the clear and simple way you explained this ❤

Did it work I have the same issues leaves turning yellow and curls after heavy rain few days ago

How often do you treat with the Epsom salts? Thanks!!!

[@Anna-Leigh77]

Is it the same problem as going pals green?

[@freeasabird5187]

Hi Beck, how often should you apply the Epsom Salt? TIA😊

[@karengreene4476]

I started some lemon seeds a few months ago and need to transplant them. What type soil would they require? Thank you!

[@becksbasics1]

In both the ground and in a pot they need a nice free draining soil. Water them in with some seaweed solution to minimise transplant shock and give them a good watering in. Water every day for a week, then every week for a month then every month for a year👍👍

Here in Netherlands I find epsom salt as crystal to be placed in baths. Or an additive for health? Is that the same stuf?

[@becksbasics1]

Yep - same stuff👍👍

[@user-su5du9ln8r]

How did this work out for you?

[@AlecL]

How long do you think it would take to see a difference?

[@becksbasics1]

About 3weeks

[@VultureXV]

Realized that my poor lime trees original soil might as well have been sponge with the kind of mulch it was potted in.
This is why i dislike buying plants from large store chains.

[@Dr.Reason]

I’m confused, Eason Salt is not magnesium but a magnesium sulfate. That’s not the same thing.

[@MountainTopher]

It's water soluble and separates when wet

[@user-vo3zs3yf9g]

Don't Epsom salt kill the root

[@becksbasics1]

No it’s fine on the roots. It’s not actually a salt

[@stephencook7337]

@@becksbasics1I was told the same thing about not using Epsom salt but I use it anyway and my once sick tree now has new growth on it.

[@underated17]

Are you sure it’s always safe to use epsom salt for indoor potted lemon tree?

[@stephencook7337]

@@underated17 Epsom salt is not the sodium salt that causes the roots to dry up. It is actually magnesium sulfate and it’s good for plants, especially those that are malnourished.

[@vittoriovuocolo2438]

​@@underated17I tried to kill some unwanted vegetation and used a lot of epsom salt instead of roundup. It made it grow like crazy .

[@alexhagedorn1365]

horribly basic and misinformative.. it could equally be low iron, low nitrogen, off ph, etc..

[@stimpyueediot]

how long does it take for the leaves to turn back green? TY

[@becksbasics1]

Could take a number of weeks
