I liked your smiling lemon 😂

Appreciate the video and the sun reflector as well as the experimental mindset, diffused versus direct-reflect. Great idea. I have a suggestion on repotting, use a clay pot that can wick water away from roots to protect from root rot, for handling roots on citrus plants, try holding the plant in position and then have a partner backfill the pot with some potting mix, stop, add some fertilizer and gently blend in the soil with your fingers, resume back fill up to external zone of the trunk, being really careful not to cover this zone with soil, thus preventing girdling the plant. When you have the potting soil close to the finish level, gently grade the soil with a slight slop downward from plat to edge of pot so water flows towards pot edges, a second protection from root rot. Thank you again for the video.

Hahahahah…super cute video. WOW…Lowe’s tree is tiny and producing. NICE💕

I love your energy n enginueity, bless you u remind me of me sticking old CD's n my pots, also putting a rock inside empty chip/snack bags inside out on some polls, polls help me keep my balance especially on arthritis days truth God bless you and your family of trees ☮️

You could also try some grow lamps for extra light during the day? How is the reflector doing?

First off, nice STL rep! Second, how’s the kumquats work out? I’m in the area as well and this is my first winter with citrus.

Hi. I really enjoyed your video. I’m a Florida gal who relocated to Colorado. I’m having to relearn a lot about when and how to plant also the Suns rays are more intense so def alot to learn. I have picked up a few tricks and one is coconut shell ground and added to soil to starting plants. Plus fish emoluments and coffee grounds but also your left over coffee. Oh my mushroom compost along with worm castings bone meal a little calcium poof all natural lol I miss my childhood when my granny and grandpa planted by the almanacs. The veggies back before we destroyed our soil grew some awesome food. Humans are acting like a caged animals crapping and living in our own filth in lab settings the critter dies what will happen to us if we don’t ALL take an active part in cleaning up our poop pile. I try everyday to fill one garbage bag of trash I collect from trails or lakes, parks, rivers or streams. America is beautiful but it takes us all. Do your part save a turtle from eating and dying on plastic which is now a part of our minerals found in our water and soil. I love my country I served in the Army and I’m not to good to pick up trash or save a critter from fishing line left with hooks on it to impale ducks when the water levels high. We can change the world I CAN make a change Can You?

how do you transition them from outside to in? do you get leave drop? what are your outside temps when you bring them in and what are your inside temps when you bring them in?

Good info! May I ask where you bought the kumquat?

Very helpful. Thank you

Thanks. I need to bring my lemon tree in for the winter.

I live lemons so much. Ive always wanted a tree of my own. You e given me inspiration to get one❤️

Thank you so much! I love the way the blossoms smell! It took me a couple of trees before I actually started getting the hand off it. DON'T OVERWATER!

Citrus grower here. I hate to break it to you but the 6 year old lemon tree that has not produced, is no longer a lemon tree but is all root stock that has taken over which is a trifoliate root stock, hence the leaves in groups of three. It will never produce lemons and its basically not worth your time or space. You could tell that it is no longer a lemon tree if you compare the leaves to your other lemon tree you bought at Lowe's. Hope this helps.

Nice collection 🪴

I was interested to know where you bought the kumquat tree from as well? I saw someone else ask in one of the other comments. I’ll be subbing immediately to keep up with how things are going in your garden. -Calvin

How did the light reflector work?

how long did it take your citrus to fruit?

I have a lemon and lime and I’m also in zone 6 on the east coast. I am about to give up on my citrus because scale seems to take over halfway through winter. This is the first I’ve heard of using hydrogen peroxide on the soil. Do you think it’s ok to use it once they plants are already indoors?

Yes. And rubbing alcohol kills scale. I have that problem, too. I even take a wet paper towel and wipe them off when I see them.

ANGIE Why sunlight from the south ? I Can only do from the west when I bring in my lemon tree for the winter

Do you fertilize them?

Have you tried putting coffee grounds in your lemon try that don't produce and your orange tree that drops it's flowers?

Shiney white paint is just as good as tin foil actually better if you let your tin foil get all kinds bumps in it because how it will change the direction of the reflection.

Hand pollinate the orange tree and add some fertalizer for the lemon tree it should flower after that. Could simply need a slight boost

That's a happy lemon!

I love lemons and oranges. Do you live somewhere warm? Do they need sunlight even in the winter ? I liked that you made the light reflector, that was a great idea.

We live in the Midwest, in zone 6, so we have too cold of a winter for tropical plants or trees to be outside. The trees need around 6 hours of sunlight to thrive, but the eaves of our house block the sun from fully shining on the entire tree, that's why I hope the reflector works. 😁 Our kitchen is always so crowded this time of year!

@@mamapolittea grow light should also help. You can set it on a timer. I plan in doing this in the winter time. Thanks for the peroxide tip. I used peroxide a few years ago to stop root rot on my magnolias.

And polls no rocks, rock n pots, ok
