Love my garden and my horses. I like growing my own vegetables as well as low maintenance gardening. Currently redoing my garden.

This is my dwarf #eurekalemon. It's not looking so good. But it has survived transplanting which is exciting. Any suggestions what I can do to help it? #help #citrus-advice

How long ago did you transplant it? I'd prune it. And give it weekly doses of a seaweed solution till it picks up. Then I'd add some fertiliser. @leisel @nej @kathyb

@brightcolours it was transplanted about 2 weeks ago (so it may still die). I have neglected it slightly so it probably would like some seaweed and a prune. It hasnt done much since I planted it 6 months ago so I was reluctant to give it a prune.

I feel with the cooler weather keep up with seaweed solutions as @brightcolours suggested, perhaps leave the pruning til worse of cold weather paased. Apply good layer of mulch around base too. @rinnymoo

If you have a willing source, pee is good for the citrus too. 😁
