  • Here’s my new set up with indoors light. 
  • Do those white pots have holes in the bottom?

    Yes I drilled like 4 holes

  • 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?
    I didn’t understand your claims to me, I know that citruses love tall pots and I tried to help, I’m just not used to imposing my opinion. But most of you do not bother

    No problem, don't worry.  :)
    I just found the lack of full stops strange.

  • Everything’s ok … I think Balgayhill was confused by a typo. These things happen sometimes. Nothing to worry about. 😊

    The forum seems to get regular spammers, and your syntax and grammar seemed wrong to me.
    I apologise if you were giving genuine advice.  :)

    I don't think you need to worry @a@annegaelle1998,  You posed a question which has hopefully been answered sufficiently to help you and your Lemons.

    I think the misunderstanding perhaps came from saying that Citrus love tall pots.  They are trees and require sufficient room for the rootball. As they grow, they will need to be potted into larger containers - or planted in the ground. The volume of the container is more important than the actual height.
    Offering advice is always welcomed on this type of form - people's experiences differ due to location/climate, experience and plant/garden knowledge. 
    I don't know for sure but perhaps your 1st language isn't English and you may simply have mistaken opinion for advice - it's easily done even for those of us who have English as a 1st language  ;)
