Re: Dwarf Lemon meyer is sick

Hello @zillah 

 

Whenever you see curled leaves with white tracks on your citrus tree, it's a sign that leaf miners have taken residence. I suggest using OCP 500ml Eco-Oil Concentrate. Please note that this is a concentrate and must be diluted before use, refer to instructions at the back of the container. Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when spraying your plant. My best advice is to make sure to spray under the leaves of the plant for full coverage.

 

Here is a link to our best advice: What do you do about citrus leaves curling?

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
