Advice

  1. Light: Citrus trees usually prefer direct sunlight. Place the plant in bright, direct light for several hours a day.

  2. Watering: Keep the substrate slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry out before watering again.

  3. Moisture: Although citrus can tolerate moderate levels of humidity, be sure to provide good drainage and avoid letting the plant stand in a constantly wet substrate.

  4. Fertilisation: Apply a balanced citrus-specific fertiliser during the growing season. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid over-fertilisation.

  5. Substrate: Use a well-drained, good quality substrate. Citrus tend to prefer slightly acidic soils.

  6. Temperature: Citrus tend to thrive in warm temperatures. Protect the plant from cold draughts and extremely low temperatures.

  7. Pruning: Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove any dead or diseased growth.

  8. Pest Protection: Watch for pests such as spider mites, aphids and scale insects. Treat infestations as soon as you detect them.

Signs of weakness

  1. Yellow leaves: May indicate watering problems, either too much or too little. It could also be a sign of nutritional deficiencies.

  2. Premature Leaf Drop: May be related to sudden temperature changes, lack of light or root problems.

  3. Leaf spots: Brown or yellow spots may be a sign of watering problems, sunburn or disease.

  4. Lack of Flowering or Fruiting: May be the result of lack of pollination, inadequate growing conditions, or lack of essential nutrients.

  5. Excessive or Insufficient Growth: Excessive growth may indicate over-fertilisation, while slow growth may indicate a lack of nutrients.

  6. Presence of Pests: Mites, aphids, scale insects or other pests can damage the health of the plant if left unchecked.

  7. Weak-looking or discoloured leaves: This may be a sign of a lack of essential nutrients, such as iron or magnesium.
