Hello Marcelina! My name is Modesto and I'm so impressed with your knowledge and dedication. Does this also applies to Chico/sapodilla?Our tree drops a lot of flowers and only bears some fruit. Can you please help me what to do? Thanks.
Great video, with good citrus growing information. Correct me if I got this wrong. Lack of potassium can cause young leaves, newly formed fruits and blossums to drop. If your pH is above 7.0, certain minerals, especially iron, is not available for the citrus plant to utilize, since they like a slightly more acidic soil, such as around 6.5. Question: In one of your other videos, I believe you said that during the summer, water your citrus tree three times a day, morning, early afternoon and late evening, and to give the plant partial shade during the afternoon. Wouldn't that make the soil overly wet, causing lack of oxygen to the roots? I am confused, because in this video, you say to use the finger test, 2" deep into the soil, to check for moisture. If I was to water deeply more than once a day in the hot summer, the soil mix in my container would be too wet, especially if I have mulch (pine bark) in the top inches of the container and moving it to partial shade, as you suggested, during the hot afternoons. Also, sometimes, I can stick a soil probe down 4" into the soil, and it would give a reading of 8, which is wet, but with my finger insert 2" deep, it is slighty dried to the touch. Can you please clarify if I misunderstood something in your videos? Also, what do you think of using distilled vinegar to lower soil pH, especially, if I have a highly alkaline outdoor tap water source? I really enjoy your videos and would appreciate any suggestions.
YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE Ph ..IF YOUR Ph IS OFF YOUR PLANT IS NOT ABLE TO ABSORB MANY NUTRIENTS, NOT JUST IRON. also, during the summer if your citrus is in full sun and it is extremely hot, you may need to water more often, 3 times a day is not a rule but in my plant's case, i need to water them more as they are in milk crate pots with have excellent air circulation to prevent root-bound with very good drainage. If your plants are in a more soil environment, you may need to water only once a day. Also use a good chelated iron when you need to give your citrus a feeding :) Great question!
@@marcelinanoss8825 Thank you!
also,, 1 teaspoon of vinegar per 1 gallon of water is good to change the pH for a short term do that weekly. Each time you water you plant you will be washing out the vinegar.
Thanks for the info I'm worried about my Calamansi tree,now i know.
just start with the pH, then check the water, the amount of sunlight, check the roots, fertilize every couple of months, and treat for pestes before you ever get them, prophylactic rather then reactive.
Great information Marcelina
Glad you think so!
Hi…I’m new to your channel. Thank you for this video. I’m a new gardener (2 yrs). I just purchased my first Meyer Lemon trees. Both are in their own containers and appear to be doing well. My question: When I make my pest solution (Neem Oil, BT) how long can I leave it in the container? I try not to make too much but always have some leftover. So I save it for the next spraying. I’m not sure if it’s still potent.
wow. your a new gardener and you already know about BT?? impressed. Actually i dont use BT as it is not as effective as Neem by itself and i have never heard of any insects that have grown to become immune to Neem Here is an article for you to read that really gets into the practical use of BT. Hope it helps,, very interesting article too,, www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/using-bacillus-thuringiensis.htm
hi love your vids from all the way in the Caribbean.some thing eats leaves at the tips of my branches and buds so am not getting fruit what should i use to stop this problem
if something is eating your branches and buds it sounds like something larger than an insect,, What kind of rodents do you have? Groundhogs? Try putting a wire cage around your plant and observe,, also if you put neem oil on it,, animals and insects wont like the taste, I use that for deer and that works until the rain washes it away.
Awesome video. I have a lemon tree in container/pot and I live in New York. I keep it outdoor during summer and bring it indoor during winter under the skylight. My tree only flowers in January (winter) and didn’t fruit until this past January for the first time in 10 years since I had the tree. Unfortunately, all fruits fell off, which was very disappointing. Do you suggest that I should use a fertilizer all year around? Also, is it possible for my tree to flower in summer or will it continue to flower only in winter? Any advice will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
each citrus tree blooms at its own time of the year, they do not all bloom the same, My Meyers bloom in late fall and bears fruit the end of the coming summer, Calamondin blooms all year long and Key Limes bloom about the same as the Meyers, Fertilize every 6 months and water a little more once the tree has fruit bearing. Follow my instruction on the video and you will do well.. thanks for viewing my friend!
marcelina noss Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify, should I apply the Citrus-tone fertilizer once every 6 months? My tree is approximately 6 foot tall and it’s inside a 16 inch container.
@@sic2005123 yes,, every 6 months is a good schedule and it has all the nutrients your citrus needs!
marcelina noss Thank you for your reply. I will apply an entire pack of Citrus-tone now and again in November. I’m looking forward to lots of bloom and fruit retention.
So happy to find your channel. Learn a lot 💕Im in zone 7A and this is my second Calamansi plant ( yes im a Pinay)! Fall 2021 was the first time my three year old plant( from the time i bought it) started to produce fruits…lots of it ( just like what you said a lot of blossoms/ small fruits fell). I have it indoors now since we have Winter. I still have the ripe fruits in it ( so gorgeous to harvest).Do I have to harvest all the fruits now to get it ready for Spring ?
Use it as you wish, they will last a long time. If you harvest them you will send lots of energy to the plant for more blossoms.
@@marcelinanoss8825 Thank you so much for the quick reply. Just harvested all the fruits and looking forward for a fruitful Spring😊
Is it okay to use this brand - Vigoro All Season Citrus and Avocado Plant Food N-P-K 6-4-6 for a Calamondin tree planted in a 5 gallon fabric container? Thank you.
yes,,, you can use that with good results! :)
I have my lemon tree planted in my ground... What is good feeding them... Or how to use the citrus tone for the ground
MgSo4 / Citrus Tone
How much vinegar per gallon of water do you use to lower the pH?
one tablespoon per gallon
Thank you. I have enjoyed watching your videos. They have been very helpful.
Lots of water? Other vids say citrus prefer drier conditions with one deep water about once per week. I have two dwarf trees in my greenhouse in containers (plastic) and the container sits on top of wood within the saucer so they don’t get wet feet. Should I remove the wood so that the pot can wick up water that drains through? The GH can get to 90* even with fans running. The Clementine mandarin is doing well, the Meyer lemon am concerned about. Aphids have been attacking it but i applied DE..
yes,, you are right,, you can easily over water your citrus..however when you water your tree, thoroughly water it. You want to make sure the deep roots get water as well and not just the surface roots. Your plant needs water when it is producing fruit.
I want to know if accidently flower drop down still the lemon come out 😒 because I waited for 10 years to get lemon from my plant and what fertilizer is needed when they blossom and how much water plant need during fruiting.
if your tree is 10 years old and no fruit or blossoms.. first thing to check is the soils pH.. Then a good citrus fertilizer.
I have a orange tree in my back yard, last year it produced an over abundance of oranges, this year, it had blossoms all over it, the bees were pollinating like crazy but 2 months later...no fruit, will it reblossom after I did all the nursing back to health ie adding lime, increased the n.P.k ( the potash), and frequent watering. Will it rebloom?
i bet its in a pot, yes?
No it's was here when we moved in in December. It had about 150 oranges on it then, but this year...nothing, it's in the ground. I just want to know if it will reblossom this season?
What type of soap do you add to the Neem oil?
any dishwashing detergent will work
7.47 Hi Gregg, hallo Mam. Mam, as you suggested, i am adding white vinegar and water to gradually increase the acidity to the soil in the pot for the lemon tree. in my lemon tree , i already have a medium size dark green lemon. today i noticed small, tiny purple coloured something (same size as blackpepper) !!! i thought it could be leave bud or flower bud !!! but really thought something was burnt by the Sun or fertilizer !!!!!! what can it be ? when Gregg said it is variagated giving purple coloured flower bud, then i felt a bit of relief !!! i have green medium size lemon in the tree, and now i see few purple coloured buds or something showing up. please give your expertize. i hope i did not Sun-burn...i am concerned !!! thanks mam.
Is it a Meyer Lemon? They do get tiny purple buds.. wish you could post a picture to be more definite, but it sounds good!
@@marcelinanoss8825 thank you mam, i appreciated very much your kind reply. i too thought to send you the photo of the purple bud, but i didn't have your whatsApp number, mam !!! thank you for your kindness, mam. i am not sure if mine is meer lemon...i just bought it from the super store without any description on the label. i will let you know about the outcome of those purple buds !!! god bless you mam.

How much soap and what kind do you put in your neem oil/water mixture?
about 1 tbs per gallon
How much neem oil and dish soap to make? How do you make the formula jn short?
1 oz neem oil and 2 to 3 caps of dish soap. Use warm water when mixing. Keep above 70F to keep the neem from solidifying
Hello, I tried starting a small Eureka Lemon Farm. The tree started fruiting however, the tree couldn’t handle the weight of the fruit that leads to branch breaking before they turn yellow. What would you suggest to solve this problem? Thank you!
first.. how large are your trees? Sounds like they are too young, in that case remove half of the fruit until they are larger.
Fruit but no leaves, problem??? What's happening please.
add nitrogen.. more compost.. and fertilize with Citris tone
@@marcelinanoss8825 ok thank you I will try that. I had added some worm castings and egg shells and citrus fertilizer, maybe I didn't add enough.
How old a citrus tree be fire it starts to blossom
i will ask youa questions. did you grow it form seed? grafted or airlayered?
What brand is the moisture meter do you use ? Thanks
These are very inexpensive grab one here amzn.to/3hPkn2e
@@marcelinanoss8825 thank for your reply, I like to know the you used, I had inexpensive one, it didn’t work.
hello goodmorning just asking if calamansi and calamondin is same po ba, thank you

What’s the name of that orange ph reader you guys have?

My lemon trees are more or less 3 to 4 years old and up to now it hadn’t fruit yet. It’s planted on the ground. It looks healthy but I want to know what I’m doing wrong. Please help!
if your tree was grown from seed you may expect 3 to 7 years before fruiting. Always get a plant grown from cuttings or grafting if you want fruit the same year.
@@marcelinanoss8825 Thanks for the reply. One last question, what time of the year is best for pruning a lemon tree? Thanks again!
@@bernardbarroga1497 where do you live?
@@marcelinanoss8825 I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Do citrus needs a lot of sunlight?
Direct sunlight 8 hours plus
Your lemon trees need more light do not leave the tree in direct heat for longer than 5 hours
i prefer 8 hours of sunlight.. thanks for your comment ")
Would mineral oil work the same as neem oil?
the only thing mineral oil would do is possibly suffocate the pests, however Neem em is a insect growth retardant, meaning it prevents the insects from going through their growth cycle and kills them from the inside out.
Hi Marcelina Ross ..the ingredients on horticultural oil says its 94% mineral oil. Which is better for citrus..hortucultural ir Neem oil? Thanx. Debra
Hello Marcelina do you ship in State of Iowa?
