I got a lime plant from my sister 20 years ago from a Renaissance festival. It was 3 inches high. It is now over 5 feet and produces beautiful limes every year however, I never know when to harvest my limes. how do I know when the limes are ready ?Do I look at size, is there some other way to tell I do not know the specific kind of lime tree that it is? I do know it is not a Keylime tree. Any help would be great.

    I've got Hibiscus with yellow leaves. Is this from over watering or under watering?

      If it’s the bottom leaves, the plant could be recycling the energy into newer leaves

    On the info page about the plant it says they’re ripe when yellow.

    they actually turn yellow when they're fully ripe but if you're looking for the grocery store style ripeness you're looking for the right size. 2-2.5 inches in diameter is the avg size you want
