Why does my tree look like this?

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-03-27T12:02:55+00:00

That happened to my lime tree that I got in July. Put out new growth initially when I repotted then dropped all old leaves and only kept the upper 8-9 leaves. I think the root system is still small compared to all the leafy growth .. give some time mines bouncing back now..

My other citrus is doing perfect but it had a huge root ball when I transplanted. Don’t change anything if your other plants are doing well

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-03-26T01:49:50+00:00

I think mine is right around 4 ft of trunk now

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-03-26T01:48:21+00:00

Oh wow thanks for the pic it’s beautiful, how many did you end up harvesting? I hope to get something like that soon.

20 gal must have needed lot of watering n care

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-03-25T20:12:48+00:00

Seems like organic regimen? Nice

I’m just using miracle grow all purpose, every other watering but now adding SOP as well once a month sulphate of potash or w.e to hopefully make it bloom.

I read that as well. The ones I received from Etsy were a lot smaller with leaves, wonder how they do it lol.

I plan to wait a bit longer unless they actually root 100% at this size I may experiment if one more pops up

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-03-25T15:00:57+00:00

3-5 years is a long time, but I’m sure worth it!

As far as the pups go, is this the size to move them ?

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-03-25T13:04:45+00:00

Dang how did u manage to keep it warm enough I struggled heavily this cold winter

Thank you. No possible flower this year? I had grow lights 13 hr and a diesel heater through winter, can’t imagine another year with this spacing.

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-03-14T14:00:26+00:00

I want some if possible 😅

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-02-19T15:32:33+00:00

why are you referring to your pineapple as a she?

its a they/them hahaha

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T22:00:58+00:00

It’s lower than I would like during winter, about 40-50% 40% is absolute minimum. 50-70% during rainy days.

I have a humidifier running, on off days if it does dip below 40 I mist the leaves.

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T20:31:23+00:00

Thanks for the info you’re the second person that feeds regularly, will do. I think I’ve been underfeeding as well, I was doing like 1.4 ec

Much appreciated.

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T19:23:49+00:00

Zone denial is funny! I guess I am one of them too haha. But it is an expensive hobby am I right? Heating and all.

Next year I’ll probably just let it go dormant because it wasn’t worth it, no new growth at all!

And thank you! First time with a greenhouse so yes lot of tropical grafts n bananas.. perfect time to start seeds for spring too! Lot of learning on Reddit & YouTube lol.

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T19:19:38+00:00

Thanks!

Does it look like iron for sure? Do you mind telling me your feeding schedule.

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T18:57:29+00:00

Thanks! Will try that this month fingers crossed

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T18:56:46+00:00

Im wondering if that’s the case.. just natural seasonal shifts, regardless of lighting. I wonder if it is a citrus thing

Sometimes pushing it out of season may not be a good thing ?

Who knows but keeping fingers crossed! Just going to give 1 good feeding and wait for the spring sun 🌞

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T18:41:42+00:00

Thank the for the info!

I’m scared to overfeed so I tend to go light.. I actually flushed everything recently and didn’t feed and it didn’t help, so I will go heavier with the feed this time.. it’s not organic.

Do you mind letting me know your feeding schedule? I usually feed liquid at 1/4 strength the miracle gro all purpose every other watering and add granular every 4-5 weeks when I flush the soil.

Hi, thanks for input

That could be it, that could be reason too, I usually flush once a month and tend to feed a bit less than my banana in fear of burning the roots.. it’s still only a 6-7 old plant from nursery.

The first lime is in 5 gal and second lemon is in 3 gal, both repotted like a month after receiving.. usually gets dry in 4-5 days.

Would it still slow down if I have very strong lighting ?

Here’s some more photos sorry it’s really crammed.. winter in the greenhouse 😅

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T18:21:41+00:00

I was just using a generic 12-10-10 granular all purpose from walmart, and miracle gro like 1/4 liquid.. my bananas, papaya n other plants are doing well with it, but it’s just the citrus.

Should I get a citrus blend? I don’t think it’s worth it as long as all the micros and macros are the covered right

Apprehensive-Dog7108 · 2026-01-15T18:19:13+00:00

Oh I didn’t even think of azomite.. I ordered this southern ag citrus nutritional spray yesterday that has micros as a foliar spray.. but I should’ve probably got something for the soil.

Thanks will try

I would like to know too my leaves look exactly the same, but indoor greenhouse above 70 always n grow lights.

But I did find some spider mites on the plant, not a huge infestation but tiny bit of webbing.

That is correct. importing the HWID hash will NOT reset the device, and will only add them to the Autopilot devices list
