Fruit - CITRUS


Expert: Nick McCann - 10/4/2009

Question
WE HAVE 3 MINIATURE CITRUS TREES LIME-LEMON AND ORANGE
WE MOVED THEM INDOORS 2 WEEKS AGO, THEY LOOKED GREAT
WE HAVE THEM UNDER A FULL SPECTRUM LAMP 10 HRS A DAY
BUT THEY ARE STARTING TO LOOSE A FEW LEAFS
IS THIS NORMAL?

Answer
Hi Robert,Its normal for this to happen because of the change of location, either indoors to out or reverse; that is why its important to move them in gradually for short periods, and then back out, then gradually for longer periods until they adjust.  The process is called "hardening", and it helps prevent shock to the plant.
