Indoor cultivation of citrus fruits requires responsibility on the part of the grower. If your care for them is limited to just watering, then don’t be surprised why the leaves of the lemon fall off, although it seems to be an evergreen plant. However, do not be afraid, caring for it is simple, but the tree will immediately respond to care for it with a beautiful appearance, flowering, and harvest.

A little about citrus fruits

Citrus fruits, for the most part, come from the subtropics, with hot summers and mild winter. The summer growing season for lemon means plenty of sun and moisture. In autumn, with a natural reduction in daylight hours, the amount of watering and fertilizing decreases. The rest period for lemon is expressed by a decrease in average temperatures.

Unfortunately, we are not always able to provide good conditions wintering for lemon. As a result, it may shed some of its foliage, or almost completely lose its green mass. This is not so scary if this happens, but in order not to let our green pet fall, we need to know why the plant shed its leaves. So, your homemade lemon is losing its leaves - what to do and how to prevent it?

Below are the main reasons:

1. Poor lighting
2. Overwatering
3. Insufficient watering
4. Soil depletion
5. Dry and hot home
6. Cold in the room where the tree overwinters

Why lemon leaves fall and ways to combat it

Poor lighting triggers a natural mechanism to reduce the amount of green mass; citrus fruits are susceptible to this, as are conditionally deciduous plants. Only leaf fall for lemons is more a reaction to stress than an annual process. It is necessary to increase the illumination of lemons in the autumn and winter, since where they come from there is no such a sharp drop in illumination in winter.

To do this:

• Place a tub of lemon by a south window
• Create additional lighting with reflective surfaces around the plant
• Additionally, illuminate with fluorescent lamps.

Excessive watering leads to acidification of the soil, causing it to become denser and less oxygenated. Little air reaches the root system, small capillary roots begin to die. Unable to provide nutrition to all the green mass, the lemon gets rid of some of it.

Insufficient watering leads to drying out of the earthen coma, death of the roots, and failure to absorb nutrients from the soil. As a result, sap flow slows down. And also the process of saving liquid in the lemon tree is turned on and it gets rid of most of the foliage. Drying out the earthen clod is extremely harmful for the plant and can sometimes lead to its death, unless your lemon has already grown into a five to eight year old tree and the moisture reserve in the wood allows it to endure this torment for more than a month.

Sudden watering after a long period of drought is also harmful. This is akin to monsoon rain, when the soil abruptly changes from excessive dryness to excessive moisture. Lemon does not like this at all and responds to such stress adequately - it sheds its leaves.

To avoid yellowing and leaf fall in such cases, it is best not to let the soil dry out or flood the pot with water, turning it into a swamp. The soil should always be slightly moist. But if the earthen lump is still dry, you need to gradually moisten it. First, in small portions of watering at intervals of several hours, and then after a day or two, increase the dose of watering until the entire volume of soil is saturated with moisture.

Soil depletion. During the summer growing season, the plant intensively consumes the mineral composition found in the soil, and given that in the limited space of the pot it has nowhere to replenish other than the artificial addition of organic and mineral supplements, this is something we should be concerned about. Among the fertilizers, there are three main ones: nitrogen, phosphates or superphosphates, and potassium salts. But indoor flowers even more need microelements, such as zinc, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium, iron, etc. A significant deficiency of one or more of them is expressed in leaf deformation, color change, and then falling off. This may be redness, appearance yellow spots, blanching, loss of leaf elasticity, drying out at the edges.

We avoid this problem by feeding the soil with organic matter and minerals. Macronutrients are not provided evenly throughout the year. So, in the spring, most of the nitrogen fertilizers and organic fertilizers. In summer, nitrogen, phosphorus, mineral and organic are added evenly. In the fall we increase the dose potash fertilizers, exclude nitrogen and organic matter. We feed microelements monthly. This is best done in the form of liquid complex fertilizers.

Heat. Dry warm air The heated room in winter resembles the microclimate of a salt desert. Even in the Sahara the air humidity is higher. Even for cacti that love dry but cool winter air, these conditions will not be very comfortable. It is not surprising that the lemon cannot cope with such stressful conditions - the leaves fall off.

What to do if the air in the apartment is too dry:

• To begin, move the tree tub away from the battery.
• Hang the radiator thick blanket or a rag if it is not possible to regulate the room temperature in any other way.
• Spray regularly, every week. Give the plant a shower periodically.

Low room temperature. Lemons need coolness to successful wintering, but it’s worth knowing when to stop. It is better to keep the temperature in the room where it is located lemon tree, above +10. Otherwise, the plant also turns on the leaf fall mechanism. The problem is relevant not only for winter gardens, greenhouses, where there may be too low temperatures air. Your citrus fruits should also be kept away from drafts, so as not to be surprised later why the lemon drops its leaves, despite all the measures taken. In winter, constant drafts lead to the fact that the plant endures extreme temperature fluctuations for a long time and experiences stress. We need to rid him of this. So take care of the temperature conditions and the absence of drafts at home.

And it’s worth mentioning separately about diseases and pests of citrus fruits, which can also lead to leaf fall.

Diseases of indoor lemon

Spider mites most often develop in conditions of dry, hot air; characteristic cobwebs appear at the bases of the leaves; the leaves themselves turn yellow, curl, and dry out. The drug Fitoverm is well suited against ticks. If the tree is small, you can dip its green part in hot water, above 60 °C.

A sign of aphid infestation is deformation, yellowing of leaves, and drying out of entire branches. When there are a lot of aphids, its colony is difficult to miss; they focus on back side leaf. If there are few insects, then manually remove all affected areas; if there are many, use Tanrek and similar products.

It happens that for no reason at all the lemon drops its leaves. What to do in this case? Check for gommosis - gum leakage on the bark. Hommosis often results from other diseases that weaken the plant. It is them that needs to be fought. Moreover, most often, exclusively with drugs, traditional methods are not very effective here. It is not always easy to determine what disease we are facing, so it is best to use complex drugs such as Antrakol, Quadris and others.

Growing lemon at home is a good practice. An indoor lemon tree not only produces tasty, aromatic and healthy fruits, but also creates a colorful decoration in any room. Moreover, the tropical fruit has the property of purifying and disinfecting the air. Caring for a lemon tree is quite difficult and requires effort. Most common problem A problem that experienced gardeners encounter is the periodic yellowing and falling of leaves of the plant. There are plenty of diseases that affect citrus fruits, including lemon, but why lemon leaves fall and what to do about it worries many gardeners.

Care errors as causes of yellowing leaves on lemons

There are several diseases of this ornamental plant:

• Diseases resulting from poor care.
• Plant disease due to lack of nutrition.
• Diseases caused by existing pests.

The reason why lemons turn yellow green leaves, is illiterate plant care:

• Watering with cold water.
• Poor lighting and high temperature air leads to depletion indoor tree, as well as yellowing of the tips of the leaves.
• Excess moisture in the soil.
• Change acid-base balance soil.

Acclimatization to new conditions

If yellowing of the leaves occurs in a newly acquired plant, then this is a normal phenomenon. Lemon is going through an acclimatization period. But, if the plant does not stop shedding leaves within several weeks, then this indicates that this type not intended for growing in room conditions. Most likely, a plant that should grow on open ground.

Excessive lighting

Excess light can also cause lemon leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Despite the fact that this plant belongs to tropical species, it loves shade. Therefore, display it on a windowsill facing south or west side would be a big mistake. Such individuals can get sunburn.

In principle, a lemon that has received sunburn can independently cope with this disease if you react quickly and place the indoor tree in a shaded place.

Otherwise, the plant will instantly shed its yellowed foliage and, as a result, simply die.

Lack and excess moisture

Lemon is a moisture-loving plant. It requires both regular watering and frequent spraying. Therefore, if the air in the room is dry and hot, the tips of the leaves of the plant dry out, and then turn yellow and fall off. Regular moisturizing air is very important for indoor trees. Experienced gardeners It is recommended to place any container with water near the pot with the plant.

Yellowing of the leaves at the very base is indicated by poor drainage provided when planting. The accumulation of moisture in the soil leads to rotting of the lemon root system. Here you need to react quickly and transplant the plant into a new pot, which should be filled with drainage to at least a third of its volume. For drainage, you can use expanded clay or pebbles. Roots that have rotted should be removed before replanting. After this, the root system is treated with a light solution of potassium permanganate to destroy putrefactive bacteria. And only then can the lemon be planted in the ground.

Drafts and air humidity

Drafts have a very detrimental effect on the plant. As a result of air currents in the room, the leaves of the lemon turn yellow and curl, and then dry out and fall off. Any sudden temperature changes are contraindicated for him.

The flowerpot with lemon should be in a well-lit and shaded place, which will be protected from drafts. During the heating season, it is recommended to place the plant away from radiators and radiators, as this can also lead to yellowing and falling leaves.

Lack of nutrition

Lack of nutrition, that is, fertilizer, also leads to the fact that the lemon's green leaves turn yellow, fall off and dry out.

For example, speckled spots yellow color on the leaves indicate a lack of nitrogen. As a result, the green leaves turn yellow. If the ends of the leaves dry out and turn rusty brown, this indicates a lack of phosphorus. A lack of potassium is indicated by folds and grooves appearing on the leaves between the veins. A lack of iron is indicated by a contrasting network of green veins on light-colored leaves. Falling ovaries indicate that the lemon lacks boron and manganese. It should also be remembered that an excess of nutritional components has a bad effect on the plant and leads to the death of leaves.

Lemon diseases

There are three types of lemon diseases:

• Infectious.
• Fungal.
• Viral diseases that cannot be cured.

Basically, such diseases appear on plants grown on plantations in open ground. Lemon that grows indoors is less sensitive to them. To do this, it is worth buying a cuttings seedling. indoor varieties. But there are cases when infectious diseases also affect indoor plants.

Lemon can be affected by external and internal fungal diseases. To combat the former, you just need to remove the pests from the surface of the leaves.

Such representatives include Sooty Fungus. It is necessary to spray the lemon tree copper sulfate or Bordeaux mixture– they help get rid of internal fungal diseases; you can also use fungicides for this.

Citrus pests

Why do lemon leaves turn yellow? Perhaps because various pests have appeared: spider mite, scale insect, mealybug etc. To combat them, spraying with special insectoacaricides will be effective.

For detailed information about why lemon leaves fall, you can watch the video.

Growing indoor lemon There are flower growers in the house all the time. Agree, who would refuse the opportunity to pick ripe fruits from the branches of a tree themselves and eat vitamins, groomed and cherished with their own hands? However, not everything is so simple with this plant. Sometimes lemon leaves can curl and dry out. What to do if the leaves of a lemon tree curl up and the ends of the branches dry out? How to save your home's dried shrubs from death? It is recommended that every gardener study all these questions in advance.

Why do the tips of leaves of indoor lemons dry out is a question that worries many. It would seem that you have read all the basic recommendations from experts, you know what and how to do so that your home shrub quickly takes root in its new environment and at one point begins to form fruits. But something went wrong, and now the lemon tree faces a sad fate, as it is actively shedding its dried leaves.

Finding out the cause of the problem is not difficult, since there are only a few of them. The first thing you should pay attention to is the peculiarities of watering an indoor lemon tree.

It's one thing to know that root system lemon tree can dry out or rot if you do not approach the regularity and intensity of watering correctly, and it is quite another thing to understand that the quality of water is of great importance for your indoor plant. In the process in the house this is a basic requirement.

In greenhouses and botanical gardens, professional flower growers use special, pre-settled water. Of course, spending money on purified water for irrigation is an unaffordable expense for many. However, there are some things you can do at home.

The main thing is to understand how exactly the substrate irrigation liquid that you purchase differs experienced flower growers, and what nuances are typical for ordinary tap water. Interestingly, the second option is not recommended for moistening the soil composition in which indoor lemon grows.

The thing is that such water contains chlorine and fluorine. These mineral elements can cause a lot of damage to a dried out indoor lemon tree. If you constantly saturate the plant with such components, as a result your indoor flower will suffer significantly: the tips of the leaves may dry out.

Overwatering or drying the soil

Even taking into account the fact that the plant is considered subtropical, which means it loves moisture and high humidity air, it is still undesirable to fill it with water excessively. Let's say you very often moisten the soil composition of the lemon and spray the tree. In addition, it happens that the pot does not have drainage holes, which will only worsen the situation.

What does the florist who made a mistake deal with as a result? The soil in the flowerpot gradually becomes compacted and the pores become clogged. Now the air that the rhizome needs no longer circulates so easily in the substrate. Sooner or later home tree the house simply dries out, as the root system begins to rot due to excess moisture. The indoor lemon sheds its leaves, and all because due to the high density in the pot, the rhizome does not receive nutritional components.

To prevent an indoor tree from curling its leaves, it is necessary to work out the specifics of its watering.

In the periods between moistening the substrate, be sure to monitor the condition of the soil: as soon as it becomes a little damp, you should start irrigating the soil again. Do not wait until the earthen ball dries completely. In this case, excessive watering will create a real stressful situation for indoor shrubs. The problem can be solved by watering the soil with small volumes of water approximately once every 2-3 hours. This way you will bring the lemon back to life after water fasting.

What to do

If the leaves of your lemon are drying out around the edges, it is quite possible that the cause is insufficient watering and low indoor humidity. Very often, flower growers do not think about how important the microclimate in the house is. It would seem that you are consistently watering the citrus plant with small portions of water, but it still weakens before your eyes.

In this case, you need to increase the air humidity. This problem often occurs in winter period when heating appliances are operating in the house. What the gardener is recommended to do is not only regularly irrigate the citrus substrate, but also spray it with a spray bottle almost daily. A subtropical indoor plant will respond favorably to such care. Another important point: If necessary, place a container of water next to the flower pot.

To prevent lemon leaves and twigs from drying out, special attention pay attention to the quality of the water you water the substrate with.

Even if you use tap water, it should be at room temperature. Don't forget that it also needs to be pre-defended. Only when the chlorinated components settle to the bottom will the liquid become suitable for moistening the substrate in which the homemade lemon has taken root.

You are unlikely to be able to revive dried lemon leaves: you will simply need to cut them off. But to do everything necessary so that in the future the homemade lemon tree does not dry out, but develops to the fullest, this is already within your power, even if you have some experience in growing indoor flowers you didn't have. Take care of the integrity and health of the branches and tips of lemon leaves: revive and save them from drying out, and continue to take watering features seriously.

From this video you will learn how to restore dried lemon.

Improper watering is the most common problem in caring for indoor plants. Beginning flower growers often encounter this. Citrus fruits, such as lemons, are especially difficult to care for. Sometimes when not proper care the situation may get to the point where it may be necessary resuscitation of indoor lemon. They can be reanimated, even if it has already happened pouring lemon roots.

Conditions for good growth

The plant takes part of the oxygen from the ground using the root system. To do this, the soil must be loose and consist of lumps, between which air bubbles are located. For good growth trunk and crown of oxygen in the ground should contain at least 10%. Reducing the amount of air to 5% leads to the loss of half of all leaves.

Lemons do not tolerate chlorine and fluoride in tap water well, so you need to leave it for 2 days. It is better to take melted snow or rainwater. On spring days watering lemon should take place early in the morning, in summer, in autumn in the late evening hours.

For citrus fruits, it is necessary to soften the water. There are several ways. For example, ordinary ash and peat are added to it. The most in a simple way is boiling. But such water remains without oxygen. If possible, you can use filtered water for indoor “pets”. You can find recommendations to use oxalic acid to soften. To use this chemical, you must correctly calculate the dosage. The hardness of tap water must be known.

Resuscitation of plants at home

Plants have to be helped to adapt by different situations- when moving, repairing, after a vacation, due to pests, diseases, improper care. Resuscitation of homemade lemon It will require patience, but it will be worth the effort.

In any difficult situations, to restore the plant and preserve the foliage, you need to create conditions of high humidity. In such an environment, it is easier for a lemon to gather strength. The easiest way is to cover the crown with a large plastic bag. It must be transparent and allow the sun's rays to pass through. Do not tie the film at the bottom. The ground should not be covered. Watering is usually done (moderate mode), spraying the crown with the addition of Zircon. Ventilate every day, while avoiding drafts and direct sunlight on the weakened citrus tree.

We save until new shoot buds appear. Such signs indicate restoration of the plant's functioning. It is necessary to increase the duration of ventilation, gradually accustoming the tree to a different humidity. We remove the film when the plant restores its growth. Resuscitation of indoor lemon gives increased humidity good results, the main thing is to use this method in a timely manner. When the plant begins to rot, it is too late to take any resuscitation measures.

Prevention measures

They love attention and careful care. So that they do not get sick, and always delight with their appearance and fragrant fruits, it is necessary to follow preventive measures:

1. Lemons can more easily survive a lack of moisture than an excess of it.
2. When you see a stunted plant, you immediately want to water it - this rule does not work with indoor lemons!
3. A whitish crust of salt in a pot - the soil takes a long time to dry out. It needs to be removed and the top layer replaced.
4. The golden rule is that it is better to water less, but often, than rarely and a lot.
5. loves spraying. More important to him humid air around it than excess wet soil. Some experts recommend washing in the shower once a week in the summer.

We should be the first to be wary signs of root flooding. But they can be dealt with when there is no systematic excess of water in the pot. The water from the pan must be removed regularly and not allowed to stagnate. This good place for the reproduction of bacteria and midges.

Additional

Any indoor plant needs attention and care. in unusual conditions for them, they seem finicky and capricious. But you just need to follow a number of rules to ensure the necessary comfort for the plant. Not in vain we save from waterlogging, after which we must strive to prevent such situations from happening again.

If the plant has dropped all its foliage, then the fruits must be removed, otherwise they will completely weaken the plant.

Additional care involves providing fresh air, which citrus fruits love. IN summer days It’s good to take citrus fruits out into the yard or onto the balcony. Some gardeners replant them in the soil so that they can “rest” in the open ground. In the fall, they are returned to the pot again.

It is necessary to wipe regularly with a sponge dipped in soapy water. To maintain humidity, you can place an aquarium and open containers of water next to the citrus tree. Another way is to place a pot of lemon on a tray with pebbles, which you systematically moisten.

Properly organized care citrus plants does not bring hassle and additional worries, but joy and pleasure. A few simple rules help lemons survive in city apartments with dry air, lack of land, space, fresh air, clean water.

Some reasons for the gulf

It is unpleasant to lose a plant due to waterlogging of the soil. It turns out that you showed great diligence in caring? But sometimes the flooding of the root system has completely different reasons, which at first glance are difficult to detect. You need to know them in order to avoid returning to the same mistakes in the future.

One of the reasons is unsuitable soil for the plant.. This could be the transport soil in which the flower was transported to the store. It cakes quickly due to moisture and almost does not penetrate air, but such soil retains heat well. Such conditions are good for putrefactive bacteria, and not for the root system. To avoid the death of plants, it is recommended to replant them after purchase in suitable soil.

The soil for growing seedlings is also not suitable for citrus trees. Nutrient high-calorie mixtures with high density do not allow the roots to breathe well. Soil with a high sand content is not suitable. With constant watering, it is washed down the pot, forming a dense layer. Water stagnates in it, the root system cools, which leads to rotting.

Another reason is incorrect watering mode. It is frivolous to think that you need to water at certain intervals. A plant is not a clockwork, it is a living organism. It must be watered as needed. In summer, watering is scheduled once a day. But suddenly it rains all week, the air humidity has increased greatly, you should think about reducing watering the lemon to avoid flooding the roots. You need to focus on the weather, appearance plants, soil condition. This is much more difficult than automatically watering a tree on a specified day.

The cause of flooding of the root system can be an incorrectly selected pot. Sometimes gardeners (especially beginners) buy a larger container for growth. The roots of a still small plant do not have time to absorb all the moisture that is in the volume big pot. They suffocate in a damp, dense environment and begin to rot. Various plants prefer their pots. Some people grow well in plastic ones - they transmit heat well. Some people feel comfortable in ceramic pots - they retain the warmth of the earth for a long time. IN hanging pots more air passes to the root system.

Evergreen, but it also has periods of dormancy and active growth. It is necessary to take into account growing seasons, which may not coincide with the seasons of the climate zone where it is growing at the moment. Flower growers should take this into account when watering, then there will be no risk of soil waterlogging and root rotting. Also, with a sharp change in temperature in the apartment, or drafts during ventilation, lemons may show signs of horse rot.

How far has the progress come?

In order to completely avoid the possibility of flooding the root system with excess water, you can purchase special device- soil moisture meter. This is an inexpensive, compact mechanism that will check the condition of the soil. It has a special needle, it is inserted into the soil, after a while the device produces the measurement result. The results appear on the scale. 1 - the soil is completely dry. 10 - too wet. The device helps to store test data in memory. Special instructions will allow you to figure out what humidity is needed.

There are also similar electronic devices that evaluate illumination and soil acidity. They help create favorable conditions for growing lemon at home. All these characteristics are important for citrus to grow well and bear fruit.

Drawing conclusions

The plant is subtropical, in its climatic homeland it grew in a humid, hot environment, but does not like waterlogged soil. Land in flower pot It becomes denser and there is less air. The roots cool, there is no breathing, and the process of decay begins. It occurs gradually and develops over several months. Only experienced flower growers can detect this process at the slightest sign and take timely measures. But the bulk of indoor lemons die from flooding of the root system.

Growing citrus fruits at home is a whole science, difficult but interesting. A restore After illness, not many amateurs are able to indoor plants. As a reward, the most persistent gardeners receive wonderful lemons for tea, beautiful plant at home, which perfectly purifies the air.

Citrus varieties can be cultivated in any enclosed space where conditions that are comfortable for them are maintained. But yellowness often appears on the leaves, which does not go away for a long time, which is why they fall off. It is necessary to find out what is causing the problem in order to figure out how to preserve the lemon.

Under inappropriate conditions, lemon leaves begin to dry out around the edges.

The main causes of the disease

Sometimes a healthy-looking tree may unexpectedly turn yellow or lose its leaves completely. Why do lemon leaves dry out around the edges?

• flaw sunlight;
• change in plant nutrition;
• low air humidity;
• pests;
• sudden change in air temperature.

Insufficient lighting

All citrus fruits come from the hot tropics, so comfortable conditions for their residence, they require an abundance of sunlight during the day, but they cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, because the leaves may burn. When there is insufficient light, the tips of the lemon leaves dry out, and yellow spots often appear on them.

What to do to save a lemon:

1. Lemon requires long daylight hours (about 12 hours), so it is necessary to use artificial lighting lamps in winter.
2. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, then it is best to move the pot to the southwest or southeast windows of the room.
3. Remove dried leaves and shoots to speed up the recovery of the lemon, since it continues to send nutrients to the dried leaves and shoots, there may not be enough nutrition for the main healthy leaves.
4. If the plant was exposed to direct sunlight for a long time and received a burn, then it will not be possible to revive the crown; it is best to cut off the damaged leaves.

Received sunburn the tree should be moved to a darker place

Changes in watering

You need to water the lemon in moderation and in a timely manner, because overwatering is dangerous due to rotting of the soil, and the lack of moisture at the roots of the tree leads to the plant drying out.

When there is an abundance of moisture, it forms root rot, which prevents the plant from receiving nutrients from the soil and delivering them to young shoots and leaves. First, the ends of the lemon leaves gradually dry out, and then they turn yellow and fall off. Root rot leads to the death of the tree.

How to revive lemon at home if similar symptoms appear:

1. Remove waterlogged soil.
2. Carefully cut off damaged roots.
3. Transplant the plant into a new pot.

How to save a lemon if the plant has been in waterlogged soil for a long time: it will no longer be possible to save the lemon, root rot has affected all the roots and the plant is slowly dying. You can try collecting cuttings and re-rooting them.

If there is excessive watering, the tree will need to be replanted and rotten roots removed.

Temperature

One of the main reasons why lemon leaves may turn yellow is a violation temperature regime. Sudden changes in temperature or drafts negatively affect their crown. Dry and yellowing leaves often indicate stress.

Most varieties can easily tolerate a decrease in temperature from 25 to 10 °C, but in this case it is important that these indicators change gradually, without sudden changes. The optimal temperature for keeping citrus fruits is about 20 °C.

If the leaves of a lemon begin to turn yellow and fall off, then pay attention to the place where it stands. If batteries or other heating devices are placed near it, then the movement of hot air and cold from the window negatively affects its crown. It is better to move the plant away from heating devices and exclude drafts during its restoration.

Humidity

If the air is dry, then the longer the plant stands in these conditions, the more stress it experiences. Optimal humidity the room for containing lemon should be at least 60%. High humidity air can provoke the appearance of mold and fungal diseases.

Necessary during heating season and in hot weather, install a humidifier next to the lemon. If it is not there, then you can increase the humidity using the following methods:

1. Regular spraying and wiping the leaves with a damp cloth. The tree must be sprayed at least once every two days, and the leaves must be wiped with a damp cloth daily.
2. You can wrap the pot with a wet towel and plastic. This way we not only restore air humidity, but also protect the plant from drafts. Additionally, there is no need to cover the top of the greenhouse. Once the towel is dry, you can re-moisten it.
3. Place small containers of water around the plant. Gradually evaporating, the water will saturate the air and create favorable microclimate for wood.

A humidifier will solve the problem of dry air

Lack or excess of fertilizers

If a lemon's leaves show yellowing between the veins, this indicates a lack of nutrients in the soil or an excess of fertilizer.

If the plant's young shoots fall off, few flowers appear, the leaves have dried out and completely fallen off, then it is worth applying fertilizer.

Pests or diseases

List of insects that can damage lemons: spider mites, scale insects, aphids, wingless insects. It is easy to notice the appearance of pests: small holes appear on the leaves, the leaves turn yellow and die. In this case, helping the plant is simple: you need to purchase insecticidal preparations or use folk remedies(solution laundry soap or ash).
