    In my opinion, the problem is with the roots. Pot too big. You need to pull out, check the roots, plant in a small pot, water a little
    I changed the pot in fall because the root were too big so I don’t think it’s that. The other citrus is doing just fine. But thanks I’ll look if there’s root rot. 
    As far as I know, citruses, like roses, love tall and narrow pots. This pot contains less soil than a standard pot. In any case, I grow up in such
    Strange post. Were you interrupted mid cut and paste?
    You said 'as far as i know'.
    Why give advice if you don't know?

  • That sentence makes sense to me @Balgay.Hill ... she's saying that, as far as she knows, citruses, like roses, love tall narrow pots.  Perfectly good English.   :)  
    Perhaps if you read it out loud it'll make sense to you too.

    Hello Annegaelle. That is the wrong balance of fertiliser for your lemon tree. Assuming the 12-2-12 is the ratio of N,P and K, needed for Palms, you would be better off with a 12-6-5 ratio for your citrus.
    Thank you so much 
  • Hi everyone I have lemon tree but it seems that one of the leaves is drying and curling they are in a little green house with humidity. Can someone help me. Thank you

    The soil in this picture looks bone dry to me. I would say it needs a good long soak overnight in a dish of water before being drained and returned to the humidifier. 
    Citrus are evergreen so need their soil kept damp, not waterlogged. The first sign of them being unhappy is the leaves drying and dropping off.
    Ok thanks I will do that

    I understood that bit.
    The second sentence made no sense to me though.
    As far as i know means i'm not sure. To me any way.

  • To me it means ‘this is what I believe to be the case … unless someone has information to the contrary’.  

    I think it’s often used as a polite way of stating a fact while trying not to sound didactic. 😊 

    💡 Probably pretty much as I’ve just used the phrase ‘I think’ 😂

    What does "In any case, I grow up in such" mean though?
    Grew up in what? Long trousers? A barn?

  • Think there’s probably  a typo in there … possibly should read “… I grow mine in such…”

    That’s what I’ve taken it to mean 😊

    As far as i know, you might be guessing.  :)

  • Possibly … maybe even probably 😉
