Your so right! Thanks for giving me the confidence and with helping me to address my plant issue
You’re all I need! Excellent instructions
Thank you so much! Very clear , to the point, and informative.👍👍👍😊
Great video, great explanation. This video helped out tremendously!!
i use epsom salts to provide magnesium to keep the leaves green
Sir you helped me tremendously! You went straight to the point and I really appreciated the Hope in saving my lemon and orange trees. Great job
Thank you so much for your help.😊
put a water retaining saucer under w-about a 2-4in edge, so any leached nutrients will remain in it after watering, then the plants can absorb the flush nutrients from the bottom, by watering the saucer this will allow the roots to grow deeper letting the plant reabsorb the nutrients flushed into the saucer, i hope its understandable...
Great video
Thank you
Hey there! Very nice job just saying hello from Florida. Thank you.
Great video, thank you!
Beautiful garden🎉❤
Very informative video! Thanks
Hey man thank you I was trying to figure out why my Mexican lime tree was getting some leaves that looked like they getting burned at the tip and turning partially yellow (transpiration burns) your video helped me figure that out! I live in Las Vegas so Pay more attention to your videos because we have similar climates. Looks I have to give the tree more water thanks again!
Good stuff, have a nice day
thank you so much !
Great video, very informative. My lime tree leaves are cupping after couple weeks I put it in the ground. What is happening? New growth leaves are also dried and fell off. Please advise.
I have a thing to share! I don't know if it's because I got lucky, because I always attend my plant or because my fertilizer or potting mix are good but I wanna share my thoughts on why my almost 10 months old orange seedling hasn't had nothing but deep green leafs his entire life. My way of watering him is through bottom watering, however, I somehow got to a point where I know my plant so well I know exactly how much water it needs every time, and so when I bottom water I put the exact amount of water in the dish and my seedling drinks it all, and is very happy and therefore, because the water never actually gets drained from the pot and is actually absorbed by the pot like a sponge, the nutrients don't get flushed out and so Josh never runs out of nutrients until his next feeding. In order to determine how much water your plant needs I usually put enough in the dish so that when I stick my finger into the soil it's wet until the top. It doesn't have to be dripping wet and the very thin layer of soil above doesn't necessarily have to get wet (that part of the soil usually becomes somewhat hydrophobic after u stop top watering but as long as your finger feels wet soil after a little scrape means you're good to go).
Thank you great much!! Happy growing!
Very informative, thank you. I live in Southern Italy and temperatures get very hot in the summer. I have about 30 citrus fruit in big pots. I placed cardboard on top of the pot and cut round to the exact shape with a box cutter to fit the pot (2 layers) and the covered it with wood chips. The difference in the amount of watering I have to do is amazing. They hardly need water. This has many benefits. 1. Much less watering and therefore less work. 2. Less extremes between dry and wet and therefore less shock to the plant 3. less water (important to me as my water is from the mountain, not mains water and I only have a 500 litre tank) 4. Less likely to dry out as the process is much slower 5. Keeps the soil cool 6. Stops weeds growing in the pots, which use the water and nutrients meant for the plants. 7. Less time spent weeding 8. The cardboard and wood chips eventually breakdown, releasing nutrients. Obviously, when breaking down, wood chips sequestrate nitrogen (to be released later) but this is not such a problem if the wood chips are not mixed in with soil. I only did this about a month ago, when the leaves of my trees were already yellow all over but I added nitrogen at the same time and now the are much more greener trees in general. Some leaves are still yellow, as you pointed out but overall, the difference is black and white. Another problem I have is leaves curling up and being wrinkly. It’s not the same as sunburn and I’m guessing it’s some disease or parasite. Any input there? I’ll be looking at that next but nay advice would be much appreciated.
Great video I just subscribed
Thank you
what fertilizer do you recommend for potted citrus - I use a organic fertilzer and dulcet it tablespoon per gallon of water. should I be using it as granular form so when it rains it doesnt wash away the nutrients? I am in CT and have to bring my potted citrus in for the fall and winter
thanks man
I'm having that issue with my gardenia bushes in containers. I'm thinking that might be the problem with them too
Greetings from Iraq. Helpful video.
awesome where in Iraq?
It is true. My kumquat turn yellow because it is in pot and I did not feed them enough in the summer.
On my potted lemon do you recommend that one could save the water that drains, and reuse it over again and again to save the nutrients that have drained out.
Greetings from Baltimore...I am trying to keep 2 lime and 2 lemon trees alive here...I grew up in SoCal where citrus is everywhere but here the trees have to be in pots and I am having some issues...great video
Please try to apply zinc oxide or xinc sulfate it it is availlable for sale in your area to correct the deficiency or yellowing of leaves of your plant or you can spray any avsillable liquid fertilizer with trace elements......
Same here man I have a few that's not doing good I moved them in the house a few weeks ago I'm also from Baltimore
We have a lemon tree which had yellow leaves. I pee on the ground around the trunk daily leaves turned green no problem.
Thats a like, Thats a notification bell, thats a SUB! fantastic video, and you're local!! Thank you thank you thank you.
:)
thank you :)
A well blooming citrus in my home garden surprisingly turned with fruit in reduced shape most of them dropped before ripening. ironically ,my family and kids are also worried about this unpleasant development . I poured DAP (black f fertilizer). What should I do . Oblige me with solution .
Well, how about overwatering and overfertilizing aspects?
Some sources claimed that both of them are also the causes of leaves turning yellow.
Nice and clear explanation btw, Sir.
Over watering falls under reason #1. Everytime you water, water leaches the nutrients away from the potting mix causing chlorosis. The water itself does NOT cause the yellowing of the leaves. Over fertilizing looks similar to reason #3 and will happen within days of fertilization. Extremely uncommon unless you really screw up. I have yet to over fertilize any of my trees.
Citrus trees are heavy feeders so over fertilizing means you dumped the whole bag in
@@qctropicals I agree with you as the most likely culprit, but another possibility is plugged up drain holes so the roots are drowning. This can cause any plant to turn yellow.
@@jerrybessetteDIY thanks for your feedback!. No plugged holes and all pots drain water just fine.
Wow that second plant with brown then yellow, has tons of buds
Hello thank you for all the great info. My eureka lemon peels very thick and not much juice. What do I need to do to correct it? Tia
thick skin signifies not enough water or fruit ripened too quickly for one reason or another.
Hello I am in Mesa Az and just got a Potted Lemon tree around 4 yrs old, I want to go now keep it in the big pot its in to grow it alittle more and maybe transplant it down the Sierra Vista area in a year, Problem is the leaves are beginning to turn yellow and some brown and curling around the edges and falling of the tree. I was told to water it heavily 2 to 3 times a week in the summer. Am I watering it too much? Does it need more nutrients? I have it in the direct sunlight all day from sun up to sundown, is it getting too much of this burning sun?
Helpppppppppp...
Watch this video ua-cam.com/video/pO98swUgW1M/v-deo.html
My lime tree is about 3 ft has some limes but most of the leaves fell of what’s the problem? it’s planted in ground full sun
Glad l watched this.
Great knowledge!
Binge watching.
Am now a subby 👍
Allan,
Question: in your opinion, what is the best method to propagate lemons/citrus in a hot and humid climate like coastal Texas? Thanks in advance and be well
They take easily from cuttings during this time of the year.
@@qctropicals thank you, you're terrific...... responding so quickly
Goodday i fertilize 5gram on 5 liter bag so if you fertilize a 25 liter container will be 5 teaspoons for 3.5 28 before fruiting .5 liter container is happy with a teaspoon of lan before fruiting if it is agra
Grafted plant before it fruits .
What does burnt tips on leaf mean on a potted kumquat?
potassium deficiency. Use a fertilizer with a high 3rd number like 5-5-20, foliar too..
Thank you great video I'm growing key limes and scotch bonnets what kind of fratilezer do you you recommend and thank you

Hey sir, Thanks a lot for your useful videos! love from India. Actually I've citrus trees in ground. We are farmers over here and we sell fruits during the harvest season. Here we have around 6500+ citrus trees. All are healthy trees. Sometimes we have a difficult time to save a citrus tree from disease or some other problem. Our citrus trees are over 8 years old. How can I let you know if i need any help regarding the citrus. How can i contact you so I can share images and you can guide me out :)
Why would u need help if you’ve been farming a long time and with such mature trees, the age?
My kumquats leaves turned entirely yellow, soft and fell off. It’s in the ground. I’m wondering if it has been overwatered.
This process doesn't happen overnight. Foliage drop after your leaves turned yellow is a sign of the root system dying off. This takes months to happen. I have a video on how to water container plants, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/pO98swUgW1M/v-deo.html
My lemon tree in plastic pots ,in the afternoon the outside of the pots heat up 120°F does it effects the roots..right now it's doesn't growing very well.
no issues with black pots in extreme temperatures. Only problem you will have is water will evaporate faster and you may need to water more often.
Indoor Meyer 2 years old. All flowers and tiny fruit fell off. Now branches are turning brown starting at the tips and moving inward. Any thoughts PLEASE?
tons of reasons friend, I'd start with the watering.
How often should you water in the summer? Im also in AZ.
in ground or pot?
@@qctropicals in ground
My Kumquat leaves are turning reddish
I just learned that nothing is going to kill my tree. 👍🏼
thanks for sharing.
how about lemon tree with white spots on the leaves?
Post your pic on our fb or instagram.
I planned a lemon tree in pot for 6 years, it grows leave very well, but no bloom and no lemon, what did I do wrong. What fertilizer makes lemon tree fruit? Thanks.
check out my video on "why your citrus is not fruiting"
Nice information! What can someone do to get rid of infestation. I have a key lime (1.5years old) inside. I recently transplanted my plant to a bigger pot. My tree started to loose leaf but it is now recovering from this shock. New growth is starting to happend. I tried using chemical to get rid of infestation (low chemical) . It did not work. I wash it down with water to get rid of the chemicals that i used . Is there a better way to get rid of infestation?
I am in the Phoenix area too, and have an Oro Blanco tree that has been very productive for the last 10 years. It's about 6 feet tall and 10 feet wide. This summer was very hot, and I have found that many of the leaves are yellow and dry. Some of the branches have damage to the bark with peeling and sap coming out, and the ends are looking dry and dead. And several of the fruit this year are small , hard and yellow , so I know they will not be good. Some others look normal and a good size of about 5 inches wide, so it should be okay to harvest in the next couple of months. I watered it deeply 2x weekly through the summer, and have cut that back to 1x weekly now. I recently gave the tree a couple pounds of citrus food (nitrogen based).
I have been cutting off the dead branches and removing the hard small fruit. Is there any treatment for the peeling and damaged bark areas? Is this due to sunburn or some bacteria? Thanks
buddy, your tree needs water, 6ft in 10 years confirms this. I have a ruby red it's like 10ft in just about 3 years. No treatment needed just water and make sure that water penetrates that soil at least 5ft. It will take 1-2 years for you to see results.
@@qctropicals thanks for the tips, we will give it a try!
Love, love your channel; subscriber. Hope you can answer this one. An unusual series of events for my baby Meyer Lemon living in Fl., zone 9A.
May: New 2' tall Meyer lemon put in a self watering container. Tree has 3 stems from the graft, all are close to soil level. 50/50 Garden Soil+Compost w/perlite to lighten it + Osmocote delayed release fert. Pine bark mulch topper. I water w/Miracle Grow from the top til water run out holes in container, 3" from bottom.
July/Aug/early Sept: most days 90°+ temps, full sun 7am-6/7pm. Put out many new stems (groups of 3 and singles).
Late Sept: We had an unusual cold night, 47°, 1 new leaf curled, leaves on new stems never greened, are limey green, not flaring out, staying tight to stem. Old leaves still gorgeous lush green. Left it. It started putting out buds.
Late Oct: Limey leaves same. I put container citrus fert stakes in (Jobe's, 3"long). Budding like crazy. No more Miracle Grow in water.
Mid Nov: No change (limey leaves). It's budding like crazy. Tree now about 36+" tall and very wide.
Should I leave it alone?
For 3 Stems from graft: should I leave all 3 or remove 1? In the spring?
Will much appreciate a response.
I am known to kill plants with too much love.
Tx, Joanne
Yes too much love. Lay off the fertilizer for a bit. Winter is here, no top growth is normal. Water only wen 50-75% of the potting mix is dry especially during winter. Other than that, lemons are the easiest to grow. You really don't need all that fertilizer. As for the branches; citrus are bushes not trees. If you want a bush, leave the branches alone. If you want a single trunk then prune and just leave one. Thank you for your support!
I put some seeds in a pot from a mandarine l was eating and the tree has growing to about 5 feet. No fruit just spikes all over it. Do l dig it out and throw it out.
how long has it been?
Do we fertilize in the fall/ winter while it’s blooming for an indoor plant I am in Canada?
Your citrus blooms indoors during winter?
@@qctropicals Well it is blooming in fall currently.
My trees are blooming indoors also. My key lime is turning yellow will spray epsom salt water on them. I can't tell if it need iron or magnesium
What are doing about the chlorine in city water?
we water all our trees with city water which contains chlorine. No issues.
I have this 12 year 12foot lemon that that fruit very poorly 5 lemons per year. The leaves are yellow and green. I grow it in the hot dry desert of Mauritania. I will try to add more nitrogene. I think the wind is affecting it also. Any idea how can I get more fruit ?
is it in a pot or in ground?
@@qctropicals its in the ground !
Could it be that they need more water ?
@@MrChilli26 Zero chance leaves would turn yellow because tree needs more water.
Hi how can I send you a picture of my limones
With many plants, hydrogen peroxide will reverse crispy dead leaves. I've done this w a plant that was so crispy it looked dead. By the next morning they were mostly soft again.
Thank you
How do you mix it
Can you tell me why my lemon gets bubbles on its leaves
@@jeanettevorster9293 Bubbles?
What?
Besides using a hydrometer, are their tell tale signs of overwatering?
I have a video on that topic, check it out. I believe it's a gardening myth one.
Much appreciated, have watched, it, have been underwatering myself, afraid of drowning the trees, flowers falling off, no fruit etc
Cheers from Australia@@qctropicals
How do I fertilizer a lemon meyer tree
video coming out on this topic in a few days
Sprinkle (used-dried)Coffee grounds and water it deeply in the next water schedule.
Where do you get nitrogen ?
mother earth
I have a lime tree in over two year in a pot what happens if this year I plant the tree underground outside in Pennsylvania the cold weather killer or regrowth next year ?
Too cold, it will die. Keep it in the pot.
How do I KNOW If I am watering too much? Thank you!
check out my gardening myth video on overwatering.
I heard over watering also causes the leaves to yellow, because the plant also doesn’t get enough oxygen from the soil. True or not?
I have an gardening myth video on overwatering in my channel, check it out.
If you have to water so often , why don’t you put then on trays to they can soak the water they need instead of watering 3xD. Also Thank s for the info
I was gonna suggest that too
If their roots sit in water they get rotted. Citrus hate having roots I water
I've heard lack of sunlight can also cause citrus tree leaves to yellow. Is that true?
Negative. Leaves actually turn greener and bigger. They don't fruit as much in the shade though.
@@qctropicals Thank you for replying!
Thank you, very helpful
With nitrogen, Do you or any friends use human Urine &Water mix?
Yes, I know someone who uses diluted pee. If your trees have the nutrients they already need, switching fertilizers should show no difference. Before he started using pee, he was putting compost in the soil.
We have a problem with cats using where we planted our lemon tree as a toilet. What can be used to keep the cats away? No, the tree has not born fruit yet, it's flowering presently.
Most effective way is to fence off the area.
Sprinkle (used-dried) coffee grounds will deter insects and cats. Mix it with dirt and water it can be fertilizer source.

Two words....citrus greening.
1 word, negative
Sorry dude my plant is growing in the ground, well watered and under partial shade still the leaves are turning yellow all over the plant, not helpful.
I hear that generalization all the time, "well watered". How old is the plant? how fast does your soil drain the water?. Have you sprayed anything on it?. Another possibility is the soil is always wet leeching the nutrients away from the plant. So many variables, if you're looking for an answer specific to your tree sorry dude you're not gonna find it.
Just a little tip spueeze lemon and NZ Manuka honey into a cup and hotwater and sip it to get rid of that squeeky voice man
Sorry your solutions are not suitable for plants in our area
Does the sun shine in your area?. Do plants drink water in your area? Do your plants NOT require food to survive in your area?. Information in this video applies to all plants on planet earth. What planet do you live in?
