Lemons are FINALLY starting to turn yellow after about 9 months from when they first bloomed. Was a little worried I secretly had a lime tree for a bit there!š All the energy used to push this fruit past the finish line has her losing some leaves, but Iām hoping once these are ripe and she moves back outside for the summer she will make a full recovery! #LemonTree #MeyerLemonTree #citrustrees #IndoorGardening #containergarden #FruitTrees #FruitFarmer

What did I do? #Calamondin I think I sent Miss Celie to the upper room. I bought it last summer and had her outdoors and overwintered indoors. I put her back outside a few weeks ago, repotted in new soil, fertilizer and she faces South and gets 8+ hours of direct sunlight. The newer leaves are curling, turning yellow and crispy. Although the older leaves look just fine and she's standing up straighter (she used to lean and had to be supported). Help!!
