I like the lady, love the brilliant advice but the music is too loud and very distracting!
its funny how the sound editing doesnt sound loud but when its uploaded to youtube, sometimes it comes out too loud, we are working on that,, thank you for the input Nanny
U are right, I can barely hear anything
It was your introduction it was well done!
@@marcelinanoss8825 yes, way to load. Better with none if needed
Need some weed with this music..:-)
My filipino lemon is 17 years old grows beautiful and MANY lemons, ALL year
My main thing, is to always have the proper NPK, of 6-3-3. That is= 6% Nitrogen, 3% Phosphorous, 3% Potassium.
I hope my comment helps others, grow beautiful fruit trees.
Ps: NPK 5-5-5 will work too!
which brand do you use??? thanks for commenting
marcelina noss
I make my own... comfrey plant, the leaves is my main natural way to make fertilizer, over longer time frames. It has everything your other plants and TREES need.
Make a "stinky tea and feed your plants with it. Also, use leaves as a chop and drop, for slow release, to increase soil health.
In my yard, my plums and peach trees, are SUPER large! I never cut them back...lol. They are so heavy with fruit right now, the branches are hanging super low. They are only 8 years old! No joke... they are SUPER sized.
I plan on cutting them all back, this coming fall.
If you dont have Comfrey:
For instant Calcium and Potassium: I use eggshells, dried and ground up, into a powder.
mix 1 tablespoon eggshell power, to 1 tablespoon white vinegar and let set 15-30 mins, then mix with 1 gallon of water. Shake well and water the fruit trees. This gives the plants and fruit trees, instant calcium that they can use immediately.
For a boost of Nitrogen: used/old coffee grounds, made into a weak coffee tea.... My fruit trees love it!
For a longer time frame: make compost by reusing OLD potting soil. You cut banana peels, cut into tiny pieces, mix in old coffee grounds, dried out leaves (from a yard) , and mix into old potting soil.
I have much more information.... but not enough room on here for all that. Lol.
But you see what I'm saying, there's always a cheaper and more natural way to add nutrients to potted fruit trees.
I also use eggshells all in my veg garden beds, to keep slugs away from my vegetables. It's a win win!
Do some extra research on comfrey (Russian Comfrey)! It's has SOOOO much value & benefits, in what it's used for. It's also used for healing!
@@MsCherokee70 if you are making your own fertilizer, how do you know the NPK values?
@@marcelinanoss8825 don't need to know the NPK If im Using my preference...because it's a natural balance of using comfrey..(thats called chop & drop. Look it up.)
Takes out most of the guess work, for NPK values. Plants and trees, take what EACH need.
I grow many different types plants in mine, together. Some use more of one nutrition than its Companion tree & the tree uses a different one/value. They balance each other out. It's a lot to explain.
Like all things, Take time to STUDY about companion planting....or "sister planting".
Yes, fruit trees have companions too.
Soooo Much to do & learn... so little time 🤦🏻♀️
@@MsCherokee70 very interesting plant indeed thanks :)
My Citrus (Meyer lemon) is 16 now, she has 21 lemons ripening. Very interesting programme. I live in SW France high up, we get very hot summers and 2 / 3 months of intense cold. She comes in at the end of October, plenty of light but less water, and goes out again around May. She is like a pet and is treated accordingly.
i know the feeling,,, they are special.
guys,, i do realize that the music on our Intro was a little too loud, but please bare with it, it only last like 12 seconds There is a ton of knowledge in here to share with you. We have realy tried hard to reduce the loud music on our following videos, Please do not mention the music anymore please. thank you and enjoy the video.
My wife and I just finished building our greenhouse and growing lemons and limes along with a bunch of other plants. Came across your channel and instantly subscribed. You guys remind us of ourselves...me a white guy from Philly learning the farm life. My wife a Filipina whose always teaching me the ropes. I'm learning with a lot of laughs along the way. We always say everyone should have a hobby. My wife says one you can share with "your hubby" is even better. I swear it makes our plants grow better with all the love. God bless you guys and keeping making hilarious videos!
great to hear from you,, so happy you are gardening at the next level with a greenhouse, you will have so much fun inside there. You guys will enjoy it immensely. Keep watching, keep on growing!!
You are wonderful, growing up as a child my grandmother always said I'm missing the green thumb, I could look at an artificial plant and it would appear to be dying.
❤️
I understand her husband much better. He is more serious and get to the point. Thank you for sharing vinegar and water to produce more flowers. Beside the wind blow flowers off the tree, But what cause the flowers to drop (baby fruits drop) and loose lots of leaves at most of the top branches. Is it stress? What about half of the tree branch turn yellow. Is it Lack of Fe, Mgso4, or sulfur? Why do some people bury match tip into the ground next to the citrus tree?
matches are made from Phosphorus first of all,, never heard that one before. The vinegar water remember is good for a few days and need to repeat as it washes out when you water it. No big deal though right? Vinegar is cheap. YOu need to examine the individual leaf and see if its veining green while the leaf is yellow.. Watch my video on FE, Iron deficiency. hope this helps...
There are three major types of citrus that fruit differently.
1. Lemons and limes are tropicals and can bloom almost any month of the year. They respond to tropical conditions of wet/dry season cycles. Water your lime tree sparingly for a few weeks, then fertilize and keep it watered properly as you showed and it will probably bloom, unless the temperature is too cold. That is almost the same as getting a bougainvillea to bloom outside the tropics.
2. Temperate mainstream citrus best bloom in late winter or early spring and if they bloom out of season, the fruit usually does not grow properly.
3. Kumquats and their hybrids may bloom later following a warm winter or may repeat blooming.
I live on the Middle Texas coast and my mainstream citrus may fail to bloom in the spring if I don't pick all the fruit from the tree before about the end of January.
If the tree is in a container and is somewhat root bound, and you repot it into a very large pot or barrel, it may go into a vegetative growth phase and skip blooming for quite some time. Go up in container size only one or two size at a time if you need fruit and not plant size.
This is what happens to me. I reported and haven’t seen any fruit in 3 years. 😢.
im in ohio and i have no prob with bouganvilla blooming here, either outside in the summer or in my greenhouse right now mid winter
I love your laugh-- reminds me of my mom and myself. Life happens and when you need to laugh, don't hold it back. That's the laugh of loving life even when things don't turn out as you had planned. And thanks for the tips!
thank you Celine, so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
dear Marcelina... I just came across your video and love it. You speak clearly and easily do I catch up with your tips... thank you so much. I have subscribed.. thumbs up for you dear lady !
Marcelina,I have learned so much from you. Thanks for sharing your plant knowledge. I am a Filipina like you. I live in Western Washington state ZONE 8b. We have mild winters but do get some freezing nights. I am going to try and grow Meyer lemons this year and also Calamansi or Calamondin . More power to your channel.
You
Ed
thats great Dai .. check out my calamondin at cashyourgreens.com
Really very interesting the many reasons of non-flowering. Thank you very much for this video. Last year I've bought special electric lights, so that my citrus-trees get sun for 12 hours a day during the dark times here in Germany. The leave got right green (it was so pale) and now they are flowering very well. After 20th May I can them put into my garden. Greetings
Thank you for your kind words,,,I think growing citrus is one of the most enjoyable plant to grow. Especially with the high price of citrus now in the stores.Good luck in your growing,,
@@marcelinanoss8825 Thank you so much for your nice answer. Yes, You have quite right. Flowers make happy, espacially citrus. I have 10 div. trees and they give me enough fruits over the year, also for delicate marmelade (with bitter orange). And times become not better here in Germany. I fear our future. Good luck to you lovely both and freedom.
Too much laugh tAkes away the seriousness ofrece the video
@@siewganesh4097 Yes, I felt the same. Too much laughter very distracting, takes away interest of the subject.
After using vinegar do you use fertiliser
I never knew to water the plant first. I only have a manual ph soil tester with the powder not a spike meter. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial. So helpful❤❤👏🏼👏🏼
Glad to help.. i have so many more citrus viddeos for you to watch as well,, dont forget to hit the link tab Ruby!! :)
Hi I have two plants one Chinese orange and lime.
I use a premix I make for these two plants on a monthly interval.
I add Bonemeal/super phosphate/mustard cake/NPK 15-15-15 ( mainly used to 🍅) and Potash. I make a 100 GM's mix and add 50/50 to it.
The containers are 18 inches and have kept in direct strong sunlight..
The flowering is in abundance..
The 🌞 sun is the key to this growth of this plant.
Super details..thanks
@@eswaribalan164your most welcome . All the best with your citrus 🍋 experiance
Thanks for sharing
The best Citrus video I've watched! I grew my lemon tree from a seed had it for 6yrs+ & it hasn't produced any fruit yet. Thanks for sharing this valuable information, I can't wait to test your advice out.
thanks for viewing my friend,, Citrus is my favorite plants in the world. I basically have nearly 1000 citrus plants and i am currently writing a book on the pests and diseases on Citrus. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@marcelinanoss8825 is there a way I can send you a picture of my lemon tree & you give advice on how to produce fruit? I've had it for over 6yrs.
You two are a riot 😂 love you both I just subscribed to your channel 💚🌲🍃🌿☘️🌱
oh my gosh,, we had so much fun making that video.. i couldnt stop laughing. Some people got annoyed from my laughing jag, but oh well,, we want to have fun and be informative as well.. thank you for your kind words. We love having you in our gardening family!! Keep Growing!
@@marcelinanoss8825 Marcelena, you don’t pay those negative people a mine at all. You two were having fun, and sharing it with so of us. If they didn’t like it, they know how to leave, and let the rest of us enjoy your laughter. Don’t let any one stifle your joy. It’s beautiful. By the way, what’s best to kill mites. My daughter bought me a few pillows, and in the pillows were mites. I’ve been dealing with those for a long time. Tossed the pillows. Just haven’t been able to get rid of the mites. They got in my laundry, everywhere.
@@agb0012000 thank you for the love,, so happy to have you with us,, PS Can you tell me what kind of mites?
I've had my lemon tree for several years and it's never bloomed. I'm super excited to learn the vinegar trick! I struggle with ph in the soil. Putting this to use immediately!!! Thank you!! I'm so glad I found your channel!
Ph IS OFTEN THE MOST MIissed parameter along with rootbound plants. Both of these are critical and can even lead to some diseases. Glad you found us, keep watching and subscribe if you havent already. Love you have you in our garden family
My citrus (lemon, meyer, calamundin, kuzu, kumquat, thai kefir, etc) are root bound but still bear lots of fruits, though smaller. I top the soil with mushroom compost, add tree secret by drjimz, fish emulsion, kelp, bone meal.
Thanks for the tips “👍🏿 and she has a wonderful sense of humor “ and personality I really enjoyed you all’s video 👏👋 HOLLA 🙏
You two are ADORABLE! You are also VERY informative. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching!
I bought a Myers’s lemon tree last year . It did ok it would bloom and make small lemons then they fell off . Then fall came and it was blooming around Christmas I had it in the house. I pollinated it and the fruit fell off again. Then I moved the tree out in my out door kitchen with heat . Then it lost all the leaves , it’s the first of June now here in NC and it still has no leaves . I gave it some 10 10 10 still has not helped . The stalk is still green just no leaves . It’s been out side ever since frost was gone . Any help would be appreciated.
Great content and really well put together.. I've watched alot of vids on citrus and I gotta say this is the best, love the way you explain the nitty gritty your both salt of the earth people many thanks George Southeast England 👍
thank you George... it is really good to hear positive feedback. That is what gives me the energy to keep on going.
Very nice video and informative. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video, Please keep up the good work.....Many Thanks.
you are so welcome,, we had fun making this one,, Citrus and roses are our passion!
I have Ponderosa lemons plant it only bloom once since I had it. The lemons got over 3-5 lbs the lemons were so good. I still have the plant it’s blooms like crazy but fruit falls off
are the fruit ripe when they fall off or right after blossoming?
No they are green
@@thomaswilliams1542 treat your citrus to a fertilizer with micro nutrients and be careful not to over water. Usually citrus will drop their fruit as a result of people over watering them. good luck :)
I learned that they uptake more water when they are making fruit and then need it again when the fruit is ripening. More water at specific times
@@Gina-yy5fe lemon trees don’t like much water. It is a Mediterranean plant, a place where it rarely rains.
Awesome video! Having a lot of fun looks great.
oh my gosh,, that wasnt suppose to happen but he makes me laugh so much, and then i caught a laughing jag and i couldnt stop. A lot of people didnt like me laughing so much, but a lot enjoyed our fun we were having making this video. Some people get hung up on the music and the laughter and not so much about the facts and materials, Thanks for watching Aaron!!
@@marcelinanoss8825 Do you have a lot of great information that I need so I are you working through your library and will also be eager to see new videos. Having fun while making those videos is important and I’m sure most of us love to see you laugh.
Listen when the 5 first sec is with a happy person smiling all over, and showing their love for what their are about to talk about then a like is in order 😊
we had such a good time making that video
Just did the vinegar PH trick. I have to add 2tsp to a gallon of water to bring it down to 6.5PH. Does that mean for every gallon I water I add I need to add 2 tsp? It usually takes about 4 gallons to see water draining. The trees are planted in whiskey barrels.
yup your right!! you must have some really alkaline soil
When I got my meyer lemon tree, it already had a few lemons on it but after that, it stopped flowering. So I wonder if I should move it to a much sunnier place or use fertilizer to make it bear fruit again?
careful with your nitrogen fertilizer,, it will produce more leaves, but not fruit, less watering, and more sunlight will do the trick
I really love this video. I've watched quite a few and got the most out of this one. Thank you so much for sharing. My new lemon tree should be well taken care of thanks to you. Peace. 🌿☀️🍋😃
thanks for the sweet comments.. glad you enjoyed it, we had fun making it amongst all the calamity with the tripod. but we put a lot of good info in there for everyone to enjoy and use :) dont forget to like and subscribe :) Keep paddling that Kayak !
Loved the advice and laughs. Glad you left that in. Hope to see more videos. Thx for sharing. Peace love! 🙂
glad you enjoyed it,. many people dont like the laughter part, we thought it was ok as it was spontaneous and having fun making videos is what is all about as well as learning. thanks for your support! :)
The laughter shows us you are human. Maybe the people who didn't like it are too serious... ha ha. I have taught English for nearly 40 years and humor makes my students return, I believe! I learned a lot from that one video of yours I saw, and look forward to seeing others you've done. Thx for the reply! @@marcelinanoss8825
I love this video
so glad you enjoyed it! The music was too loud at the intro however which upset some people..Cant change it now :(
OMG, this video was a hoot! And, I learned something new along the way (I think you intended the second to come first until the camera tricks started). Can't wait for the next...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing! I’m here in Palm Springs California and I have 3 lemon tree and 1 calamansi but they’re not fruiting. Which lead me to your channel hahaha 🤣 trying to find out why there not fruiting. God bless kabayan
check into you the plants EC as well.. upcoming video on that for you too!
1. Pruning suckers
2. Water stressing, watering deeply once a week
3. Fertilizer for blooming like wood ash
never wood ash for citrus,, this will make your soil alkaline and citrus is an acid-loving plant. You can only use wood ash on certain planttt Water stressing can work as it signals the plant to enter survival mode and the need to produce fruit for propagation. Pruning will promote new growth, but not necessarily blooming.
@@marcelinanoss8825 Pruning promotes blooming and wood ash is fine if you are using synthetic fertilizer. I use acidic fertilizer myself along with wood ash.
@@jamescatlover123 i have never gotten blooming from pruning maybe not removing enough?thanks for your feedback James
I'm going to take a few days and watch all your videos. Well done. Keep improving your channel my dear!
Grab your popcorn, grab a beer, and take some notes along with watching a few ads to pay the bills :) Enjoy and thanks for the great comment Schneider
Amazing video wow!!!!
Thanks!!
Love this video, especially from about 20min onwards when Marcelina can’t stop laughing!too funny guys, learning while laughing, keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it! we had fun making that.. sorry i couldnt stop laughing,, i got caught in a laughing jag..
Thanks, very informative.
You're welcome!
Very good we will learn how.
once you are successful, you will never look back and the possibilities are endless on what you can do
My Lemon trees was producing Lemons, but not until last year it stopped . I have three big huge ones lined up out front ,It has plenty of sunlight all day long. And we do have very heavy rainy seasons here. I live in Florida. I don’t know what’s going on.
CHECK Ph WATER, ROOTBOUND? gET A LARGER POT, or you need a good 1:2:1 fertilizer like citrus-tone.. sorry for the large caps
Informative👍👍👍 AND funny🤣🤣🤣
Glad you liked it
I bought a lime plant bud grafted which had a fruit when I purchase and planted almost a year and half year ago....location M,YSIA summer throughout the year,but not flowering..why I am still in doubt...
when ever you buy a citrus plant, you have removed it from its comfort area, It goes into some kind of shock and needs time to adjust. It may even drop all of its leaves from the move. Find a good spot for it and leave it there. Moving it around all the time is the worst thing to do. Dont fertilize it off the bat, give it time to adjust with simple watering's. Dont ever water either as you will kill it. Remember, citrus like water, but not wet feet. Make sure it has good drainage. After 4 to 6 weeks, you can give it some Citrus-Tone fertilizer ( the best). Make sure your coil is around 65. pH too. And with time it will begin to bud new blossoms!! Good luck my friend :))
Hi. Just discovered your channel. So I live in LA, about 5 years ago one of my colleagues gave me kalamansi, I saved some seeds and only one made it to a plant. It’s in a pot. Wala pay bungga, walay bulak. Apartment living ra man ko so no way that I can transfer it to a bigger pot. Anyways, what if I prune it? Need your advice. Thanks much and I’m going to subscribe.
yeah!!! welcome to our channel,, how big is your calamansi now? You dont need a bigger pot unless your plants roots are getting cramped. Stay away from plastic pots as they will root bound your plant,, Clay pots and any air breathing pot is best,, Pruning will make it bushier and not so tall and leggy,, good luck with it,, watch my other videos on calamansi too
Hi, I have 5 lemon trees that I have planted from seeds from lemons that I purchased at the grocery store. My lemon trees are now 6 years old and will be 7 years this coming February. There is no sign of flowers but they are very healthy and beautiful. Do I have to graft my lemon trees in order for them to produce fruit?
eureka lemons are funny in trying to guess when they will bloom. I would try feeding your plant with a high phosphorus fertilizer which will stimulate the blooming process, make sure its getting lots of sunlight each day. Dont over water. In 6 months nothing happens. i would try grafting a Meyers on to it.
I read somewhere that seeds from grocery store fruit won’t produce fruit.
@@bridgettebutler3538 I was thinking that I would need to graft them.
random
but if pH is a concern
adding fish water (spent) usually the nitrates lower the pH over time.
not to say that fish water is the magical answer to all growing problems
but boy it's good
the plants remove the nitrates from the water which is the purpose of the plants used
in aquaponics
ThanQ 4 the great hints!! What BRAND is ur 3 way water test meter? I bought one & the ph stopped working! ThanQ again🍈🍈🍈🍋🍋🍋
pH meters are worthless unless they can be adjusted to the proper reading with a known pH standard solution.
not true larry, you have to calibrate them with a pH solution which takes the reading to zero, then you have a true starting point.
I take left over Pickle juice which is basically vinegar and I pour it on my lemon tree dirt and it helps and instead of throwing out pickle juice or paying for vinegar.
great idea!
I am happy for the advice for the plants
hope it helps your quest for growing more citrus! These plants are precious and the cost of them is going to skyrocket this coming year watch and see pledase subscribe and like Sisterine :)
My lemon or lime tree is about 8 years old. It’s in a 32 gallon pot and it’s really tall and has not ever bloomed. I live in New York City. I bring it in every winter. And bring out starting spring. It’s 8years old. Started from seed. Help
seed citrus plant may require 10 - 15 years before blooming,, Never plant a citrus by seed and expect blossoms any time soon. Always, always use grafted or marcoted citrus if you want fruit right away. Great question by the way
Hi , just now I saw your video and it’s really great and very impressive. I lived in London. I have a big green house with room heater for winter season. I have one mature kaffir lime plant in a pot and last year I got lots of lime but now I just check it’s lost the scent and this year didn’t get any flowers yet. I have one Indian sweet lime and one Indian lime plant. I got lots of flowers but all fell off.
Here weather is very cold now, 1 to 2 degrees temperatures in night and day time 4/5 degrees. Shall I switch off the room heater.
Please can you guide me how I can look after my citrus plants.
one thing about citrus is it likes a consistent temperature, If you have a fluctuating temperature, it will behave oddly such as dropping leaves, dropping fruitlets and blossoms. Don't shut the heater off or the cold could kill your citrus. Also its hard to give citrus the necessary light requirements in the winter without artificial lighting. Just try to keep your citrus tree happy in the winter months and you will see your blossoms bear fruit in the following spring/summer.
Thank you for such information.
Glad it was helpful!
I live in a zone 8b in the US, we have some freezing nights and also some snow, I like to plant my lime tree outside, but I 'm afraid the cold can kill my tree, what do you recommend ?
hmmm snow?? not good,,your citrus really need to be in a zone that stays above 50F Some varieties of citrus are more cold tolerant but 32 is not good. Many larger citrus grower burn smudge pots to stave off the frost from freezing the trees. So id really keep it in a container and plce it outside during the warmer months and bring it inside during the winter..Where are you? Tennessee?
@@marcelinanoss8825 no I live in Seattle Washington State

Hi, please advice. From your experience, how to make jamboo fruit/rose apple plant bear fruit? My plant never bear fruit for 5 years already. Florists tell me to use fruit flower organics but never work. Please let me know. Thank you.
you need full sunlight, fertilize with a proper fertilizer for your plant, pruning stimulates new growth and blossoming too. Use a fertilizer with the NPK to be higher on the Phophorus side rather than the nitrogen.
Thanks for sharing

You are so welcome
Hi I like your videos, I have a question if you can help me I have a lemon tree that I made it from a lemon seed it’s about 5 years old and it’s about 6 feet tall but no fruit.
seed grown lemons trees are a guessing game,, but i usually tell people its around 7 years
Very informative video! Does Greg have a channel as well?
You made his day :) He had one years ago before Google bought out UA-cam. He was already monetized and was heartbroken after they changed all the rules. He didnt want to start over again, so he just helps me with my channel

Great info
glad you liked it!! check my other citrus vids
Hi thanks for this video I have about 4 lemon plants in the plant pots in my garden none of them any fruit thanks for yr tips watching from UK I'm going to buy some fertilizer for the lemon plants
dont forget to check your soil's pH and make sure that it is in the range of 6.0 to 6.5 if it is in alkaline soil the nutrients will NOT be absorbed. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for yr reply it's coming up cold weather in UK and I can't bring in the house as they are in the big pot they just green and no fruit coming in any of them I have ordered the fertilizer like the one you have I will let you know if I get any fruit any of the plants

I’m already following everything you said and still my lemon tree isn’t giving fruit or flowers 🥲 and now it’s 5.8 years old
What should I do??
did you grow it from seed, propagation or from a nursery?
Awesome video. In general do you use vinegar just once in awhile or every watering. Thanks for sharing. New sub for sure 👏👍
always use pH water that is around 6.5 to 6.8
My lemon tree flowered heavily but only 10 % could be turned into fruutes, please let me know solution.
that is the natural fruit production of citrus. Your tree doesnt want all that fruit on one branch, Most likely it would break the branch as well. Your tree selectively chooses which flower will produce the fruit.
@@marcelinanoss8825 thank you so much for your reply
Very informative and hilarious 😂. Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you show us what brand of neem oil to use ? So the bottle I got at home depot is worthless? Thank you
look on the back of your neem oil for the ingredients, If it says hydrophobic Neem oil, its worthless. You want to purchase Pure virgin Neem oil
Oh my gut they look so great 👍
thanks,,
I have a small lemon tree. It’s flowering and producing small lemons but the lemons grow about a half an inch and then falls out. What is my problem?
check your pH first of all,,, then take a look at how much water you are giving it, overwatering will cause fruit drop off. Citrus will do better underwatering it rather than overwatering it. Last, make sure you are giving it MgSO4 9 magnesium sulfate
Great video... I actually use that brand fertilizer but strictly for citrus... Going to get some bone meal and a PH meter...
warning... if you have raccoons in your area, they love to dig up your plants as they can smell that bonemeal 50 yards away. They will decimate your plant,, fyi :)

Is it better to top water your lemon tree I've been bottom watering but I see everyone top watering it
your citrus has many many roots at the surface of the ground of pot whichever yours may be. So top watering for citrus makes more sense yes?
@@marcelinanoss8825 thank you so much
Thankyou👍

I have a lemon tree from a seed. 4 years now and no fruit yet. Never had any flowers.
you have about 6 more years to wait:) Seeds take a long time,,, if you lemon is a hybridized lemon, you may get a different kind of fruit than you thought too. Growing lemons from seeds is fun and rewarding, but if you are looking for fruit, best to grow from a cuttings or graft. . These kind of trees will give you fruit immediately. Many of my newly rooted cuttings already have blossoms on them and i become sad to remove them to give the plant all its energy to make massive roots
Its good you got help
my degree is in agriculture, Gregg's is in microbiology and aquaculture, we make a good team! :)
Help…my calmondon leaves have turned light green and it stopped flowering. Last summer they were doing so well until I replanted it to a bigger pot! I don’t know what’s happening now! 😩😢
I live in California and I get plenty of sun.
its going through transplant shock. Your plant will most likely loose all of its leaves and they will all come back in great shape. Just dont over-water it, that will cause another problem. NeXT time us mycorrhizae. It will assist in preventing transplant shock.

That was a good laugh lol
Very entertaining as well as informative 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
Mam & gregg, i bought lemon tree, 2 foot tall, today i tested the soil in the pot after watering it and tested the soil for ph and it was 7 in the ph meter. i followed exactly with Gregg's demo, i poured half teaspoon of white vinegar into half liter of water and it showed 5.5 ph, and i poured into the potting soil and tested but it still showed 7 ph; so mixed another full teaspoon of vinegar into half liter water and poured into the pot and tested, the meter showed just below the 7 mark...it was nowhere near 5.5 to 6.5 ph for lemon tree; so i poured another teaspoon of vinegar with little water and poured again into the soil, and it showed 6.75 ph in the meter. i left the meter 6" deeper in the pot for about half an hour and showed 6.6ph !!!! unless i add another teaspoon of vinegar and water it won't come to 6.5 and below. i added 3 tsp already... have done right, do i have to mix another teaspoon to bring it to 6. 5 ph ? please advice me .
you dont need to adjust it immediately, do this once or twice a week. Remember it is in a solution which will wash out rather quickly when you water your plants, Your tree will reward you for your efforts. Make sure your soil is well saturated before testing pH and which test meter are you using?
@@marcelinanoss8825 thaks a million Mam, i will gradually increase the ph as you mentioned. i am using two rod pH & moisture meter with moist & ph settings only by Gardman (no battery operated, mam). With Respect !!!!! thank again mam. greetings to you both..long live.
Fun video, liked it :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Well i just bought my meyer lemon this year and it flowering now 5 months maybe i have had it
that means it was either grafted or marcoted,,,, enjoy!
Sound like. You have water fountain. Nice sound.
thats the water returning into the aquaponic tanks :) its very enjoyable to sit in here in the winter and drink some coffee while its 70 degreesF inside and snow on the ground outside,, Koi and Tilapia
Thank you lady
you are so welcome! thankx
Can you do a video on taking cuttings and cultivating them?
i have videos already on that topic,, look them up
How do you deal with Leaf miner?
neem oil and soap
@@marcelinanoss8825 how often can you spray?
Super
So nice
I have lemons in flower and fruit, limes are loaded, all grown from seed here at 44.44 degrees latitude.
All are younger than ten.
im not sure what 44 degrees lat is at, but seeded citrus wont bloom until about 5 to 7 years old, so your ten year old tree is right on target,, enjoy!
@@marcelinanoss8825 44 degrees latitude is very close to the Canadian border , zone 3.
Thanks for mentioning need oil with Estes
Great point!
Awesome video whats the name of the intro song?
no idea at this point as i do not save the edited video after i upload it so sorry :) glad you liked it though :)
How old is thelemon tree , is it from seed ..?
no,, it is from a cutting.. seed trees can take from 3 to 10 years to bloom
if you have citruses family trees that does not bear food ,, its easy ,, find as much animal waste as you can ,,don't matter what animal ,, but i prefer dog or other meat eating animal.. its have more nutrition plant food.. dig out the big area dirt surrounding root ,, dump as much your animal waste in there as possible and cover it up ,, this works like magic ,, also trim off as much as you can on all the old branches and forget it..let the rain take care of rest , guaranteed next season you tree will start fruiting ..
I have lemon in pail i think its almost 3 ft and maybe 3yrs.... still not bearing fruit...what im going to watch here will help me...
let me guess,, it was grown from seed?
@@marcelinanoss8825 yeh it is grown from the seed... anything else i can do to make it bloom...
@@rzerep4711 wait about 7 more years,,, seedlings take up to 10 years to create their first blooms, that's why its better to use cuttings or grafting to get faster fruiting times, I have brand new cuttings that already have buds on them and i remove them as to not take energy from the rooting process,, It hurts to remove them but its for the progress of the plant to do so. Wish i had better news for you,,
My meyer lemon (in a large pot in greenhouse in Pine AZ) is putting put lots of new growth. It went thru a major flowering, attacked bu aphids, which I got rid of with Neem. Now some fruit appeared and were dark green, then turned bright yellow and now black and falling off. They were no bigger than a dime. Hoping you may have some answers
first,, your pot,, i would check your root system for root bound. next check your soil's pH and make sure its in the 6 to 6.5 range. Major cause of fruit drop off. Make sure you are watering it sufficiently as fruit will require more water, but not soaking the roots in standing water. Stick your finger 3 inches into the soil. If you have moisture, your good! If not, water it well. Grab a moisture meter if you arent sure. Hope this helps
one last thing.. all your blossoms that produce tiny fruit will not mature to large fruit. Meyers are self pollinating, but you can try to pollinate them with a Q-tip cant hurt right?
@@marcelinanoss8825 will try this…3” …I have a water meter…at the root is showing midrange moisture and the outer pot is showing WET. Before planting last summer i loosened the roots…but haven’t checked the acid/alkalinity levels lately. Will so that. The new green leaves and branches are beautiful…and I have read these are self pollinating, however, I was using a qtip to pollinate anyway because every little bit helps. 👍👍
Ph is reading 6.5. Sounds like proper level, agree?
@@PineGeri perfectamundo!!!
What's best container? ( No answer before )
i like one of two kinds,, my milk crate containers or the large 5 gal sun pots which are a recycle fabric pot that allows the roots to breath.
Good
Thanks
I'm not sure if someone could help answer this. I grow several citrus plants with the same soil medium and veggie plants too. I start from the seeds. But, I notice some how plants do not grow into the same stage eventhough they are started at the same time and even with the same pack of soils. I just find it very strange and I hope someone could help to answer that as I'm unsure whether to wait for the plants to grow further more or it's meant to be a stunted growth plant and even no fertiliser could treat it that way.
you must remember that seeds are like humans, they all have their own genetics. Some seeds are better than others and will grow at different rates. Lets say you have two citrus trees that you take seeds from both of them and plant them at the same time. Same amount of heat in the soil, and same media and water ok? Some seeds will germinate faster than others and the seeds from one tree will be stronger than the other. Genetics. You dont ever need to fertilize seedlings as they have their own food stored in the seed. Once the seeds Cotyledon as been absorbed, ( the two thick leaf that open first when the seed sprouts) then you can offer it some weak fertilizer. Not too much or you will burn it. Hope this helps you understand the seed issue. I often times get seeds from a very reliable source and i sometimes get 6 seeds out of 20 that germinate,, simply put.. bad seeds. Always plant more than you need so you can pick the healthy ones and discard the weak ones.
@@marcelinanoss8825Thank you for giving me some tips and help with my question. Time to time, I've been trying to figure this out. There's so much to learn here and I'm glad I found your video.
