Yellowing Leaves If the leaves turn yellow, your tree may be suffering from nutrient deficiencies, overwatering, or poor drainage. Check soil moisture and fertilize accordingly.
Leaf Drop Excessive leaf loss can signal temperature stress, lack of water, or sudden environmental changes. Keep your tree in a stable, warm environment.
Curling or Wilting Leaves This may indicate drought stress, pests, or fungal infections. Ensure consistent watering and inspect for insects like aphids or spider mites.
Slow or No Fruit Production If your lemon tree isn’t producing fruit, it could be due to insufficient sunlight, poor pollination, or lack of nutrients. Aim for at least 6-8 hours of sun daily.
Brown or Dry Leaf Tips Dry, crispy edges on leaves often result from low humidity or salt buildup in the soil. Try misting the plant or flushing the soil with water.
Spotted or Discolored Fruit Black or brown spots on lemons could mean fungal infections or pest damage. Prune affected areas and improve airflow around the tree.
Sticky Leaves or Black Sooty Mold A sticky residue on leaves suggests a pest infestation, often from aphids or scale insects. Wash leaves with soapy water and introduce natural predators like ladybugs.
