How to treat yellow leaves on lemon meyer tree?

[Cindy77]

 

I have recently bought this lemon Meyer tree. I haven’t repot it as the leaves look yellowish day by day. Not sure if repotting will cause more stress. Can I repot it now? How can I help with the yellow leaves ?

Good afternoon @Cindy77  Sending you a warm welcome to the Workshop Community Yes I personally would repot your lemon tree. It would be beneficial if you plant into a Fruit and Citrus Potting Mix , like this one. Also once you have re potted it then you can give it a good soaking of Seasol , this will help reduce transplant shock. I hope this helps , please let us know if you need more advice with and good luck

Hello @Cindy77 

That's excellent advice coming from @mich1972. I totally agree with transplanting the lemon tree as I suspect that the plant bag is no longer able to support the plant. A larger pot will allow its roots to spread and absorb more nutrients. I also suggest looking at the Richgro 1L Black Marvel Fruit And Citrus Food Concentrate Liquid Fertiliser if you are looking for other fertilizing alternatives.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
