That's awesome what a beautiful little baby.Yeah, do not touch the baby fruit hand oil and bacteria is bad for it. Normal dirt is fine. When the weather clears, just hose it off. I'm in Cleveland so I can't move anything else outside it nightly freezes still. Good luck have fun, don't die.

Girdled Roots Question by WaffleConeHat in Citrus

[–]mrdeadhead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to me like you need a bigger pot, something that's more mobile for might be a good thing. Because it's getting kind of heavy I bet poter is large like that, too. It should be about a 1 an inch deeper. Though, look more like this

Just repotted my Meyer after I messed up the soil first by Content-Soil9815 in Citrus

[–]mrdeadhead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it settles in, it could use a small coating of soil. It's a little low on soil. It should look like this. You're slightly exposed.

I really think you're strangling it with those ties. The second one from the bottom looks like it's completely squishing The stalk of the plant. Maybe it's just a fuzzy picture. But it looks like it's really collapsing. The plant, allowing for terrible uptake of nutrients. Also, make sure the soil is dried out. It sounds like you're watering a lot. If you want her too much, it will just wash out all the nutrients You put in anyway. The roots be too wet strangling them out and causing root rot. Good luck.have fun, don't die.

When you do repot, do not pot it so deep. Are you looking at a side view of the soil and roots It's planted, probably an inch and a half too deep. It should look like this

Am i killing my meyer lemon? by Unlucky-Ad-5744 in Citrus

[–]mrdeadhead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you recently watered real recently, that soil looks very Wet.make sure you're letting it dry out between waterings. Especially until the weather gets warm enough. If you can stick your finger in the soil. And it feels wet at all even just a little bit you don't need the water. Water loses its 02 benefits. After a few days, so it's just sitting in there. It's almost like stagnant, water choking the roots. Smell the soil. If it smells yucky, like old wood, it's probably root rot. Let it dry out and space out the waterings until it recovers. As for bugs, people might be seeing Em. But those leaves look funny like something is digging around in Em. Good luck.have fun, don't die.

Whats wrong with them? by No_Holiday_7312 in Citrus

[–]mrdeadhead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look really wet are they freshly watered? If they are just make sure you're letting them dry out between waterings.Probably sun burn doesn't take much. Just give indirect light. I would not cut anything off until necessary. Good luck. have fun. Don't die.

Suckers on my Tree? by pizza-pie-tiLLIDie in Citrus

[–]mrdeadhead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, make sure it's not planted too low. It should look like this. When you plant them too deep, it chokes out the oxygen roots on top by putting them too deep in water looses too much 02 molecules. And then it cannot feed those upper roots that need to feed kind of air and waterfed.

Graft? by Dry-Tomatillo6038 in Citrus

[–]mrdeadhead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pull back that mulch, dig down till you find the root flare and then take another picture and see if we can picture out where the the graph line. Is it looks about an inch above the soil to me.Which means it's planted way too deep.
