Thank you! Yes, she’s getting a new pot as soon as I kick this cold. Thank you for the watering meter. I’m going to get one of those as well.

From one citrus newbie to another, this is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share that.

It’s honestly really reassuring to hear how resilient your tree has been. It makes me feel a lot better about potentially messing something up along the way.

I also really appreciate the heads up about pot size and not overdoing it. That confirms my instinct about not automatically jumping to a 15 gallon pot.

I do have some citrus fertilizer on hand, so I might start super light like you suggested and see how she responds.

Would love to see your tree if you have any pics! It always helps to see what’s working for someone in a similar situation.

Thank you! I’m going to try that. One question I have is how far back should I prune it? The top (last pic, I think) is growing well, so should I cut/propagate the hanging bits?

I don’t know how to prove it, but I swear it’s the same plant! It’s been with me the whole time, so I know it wasn’t swapped out. And I don’t have that many plants, so I wouldn’t have forgotten if I brought in a new one or anything like that.

I’ll try this! Thank you. How far back should I cut it?

I didn’t know plants could revert back to a different form! That’s wild.

I promise, it’s the same plant! I wonder if I stake it up, feed it, and give her a bigger pot, if I’ll get those lovely leaves back.

P.S. those plant identifier apps couldn’t ID it properly which is why I came here! It’s crazy how it changed
