Your clone looks good, I wonder how many different plants you can clone like that. I saw someone clone a cantaloupe in a rubbermaid like that.

Normally, the tree blooms and they are all over within a month. This year, it just keeps blooming and blooming even though there are fruits already forming. I wonder if I can get a handful of fruits again this year?

That reminds me, I forgot to post the fruit on the calamondin

My guy here has been struggling. I mixed up some: black soldier fly frass, crustacean meal, Neem/karanja cake with a few gallons of promix and up potted to a grass roots fabric pot. Then I watered in with coco, and rootwise mycrorobe complete. Now it is litfa and chill. Hope they don’t die.

Did it drop all those leaves at once or over a month period?

Had it inside over the winter and it gradually lost leaves, it usually does drop some leaves while it is overwintering indoors and rejuvenates when placed back outside and given some water. Haven’t ever seen it this bad though. There are signs of new growth though, so that is encouraging. Hope what I did helps.

My two citrus trees are still doing well. They never put out flowers this time. Don’t know why.

You can force it to bloom by drying it out and only giving it a bit of water for 30 days then fert+water, it’ll bloom!

Dang, of course my dude @JoeCrowe has a sweet thread about Citrus trees! I’m going to bookmark this one can come back to read. I’m planning out my yard for trees this summer, and really don’t have much knowledge on them.

Looking at doing some orange, lemon, peaches, and something that you would never find in a grocery store Paw-Paw.

Sadly I only have one good fruit this time around! I definitely didn’t baby the plant after the fruits were forming and I lost so many of them. This one has been hanging around though, through thick and thin.

I got my mandarin orange there under a 41 watt LED light. That white shit is just water scale from spraying it with water to get the dust off. When it grows a leaf, I’ll move the other citrus down there.

I only have one citrus tree but is supposed to be a red finger lime. The other tree behind it there is a Brazilian grape tree.
