I bought it majorly reduced at the garden centre and want to nurse it back to life. What should I do? I’ve planted it in ericaceous compost but haven’t fed it or anything yet as I wanted to get advice first. I’ve pruned slightly. Advice and help please 🍋 ![3件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/m8dO1xuoqC-ZyRcaDF9g5zyqgeT4VpdG2aZZXSunfnk/XuCHJKzvRk-ADX6w4nntjw.webp?size=large) ![3件中2件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/m8dO1xuoqC-ZyRcaDF9g5zyqgeT4VpdG2aZZXSunfnk/5oefFnCdQfOuHJuscKNvBg.webp?size=large) ![3件中3件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/m8dO1xuoqC-ZyRcaDF9g5zyqgeT4VpdG2aZZXSunfnk/uLmE0W4OTGW20MT-u3Bf3w.webp?size=large) ## 6件のコメント ### Hanna Scottさんが2025-03-08にコメントしました What a beautiful lemon tree! ### Sunnyさんが2025-03-08にコメントしました Citrus trees typically need full direct sunlight and warm temperatures to thrive, but, I don’t know the variety you have. It may need a grow light, full spectrum, or one that can change frequency to lighting for fruiting trees. I would ask the nursery what’s wrong with the plant. I’m a little nervous of reviving rescue plants because I’ve brought home some i put too much effort and money into reviving. The nursery staff might be able to guide you and save some of your efforts. Plus, they can point to citrus fertilizer and recommend the frequency of application. #### KJMさんが2025-03-08に返信しました I agree, ask staff if it has been treated for any pests and watch for them. From the photographs I think it looks starving. ### KJMさんが2025-03-08にコメントしました I would use citrus fertilizer. It has stuff in it that citrus plants like. I would also consider doing a harder pruning. Pruning is done in the spring before the growing season. I would cut out any Deadwood and then prune to a nice shape. You can cut out any wonky branches or branches that you feel are too low. Give it as much sun as you can, keep it moist but not soggy with deep watering once or twice a week. Never let it sit in a bowl of water for long, regular fertilizing during the growing season. Well draining soil and avoid extreme conditions like too hot too cold, and drafts. Sing to it with its preferred music genre and talk nice to it! ### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-03-08にコメントしました If the colors are coming through, it looks like a bit of overwatering happened at the nursery, because if the slight yellowing on the leaf edges. If you planted it in ericacious compost i wouldn't worry about feeding it until spring, since that has nutrients in. Is that yellow leaf with the spots the only one? I would remove them, just incase it could be fungal, and keep and eye out for anymore. It could just be an older leaf, and not fungal or pest damage. I use the Fox Farm citrus fertilizer, it works really well. And I start it after our last frost here. Yellowing can be a nutrient deficiency in citrus too, but since you repotted, if it was from that it should correct. ### KJMさんが2025-06-15にコメントしました Not impossible, but definitely challenging. Keep it in as bright of light as you can. Raise it up so it's not sitting in puddles. And if you put it outside it should come inside in the winter. We just spent a couple weeks in Oxfordshire and the temperatures barely got above 70 and it was often cloudy. I think you would definitely need supplemental lighting. Warmer temperatures would be beneficial but seventy (that's Fahrenheit) is not bad --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
