The air is somewhat dry because of our house-heat. I haven't fertilized it yet, since this is a dormant period for citrus (?) The leaves are beginning to appear lightly mottled (see photo). It hasn't dropped many leaves, and it has lots of blossoms on it, but I don't like the mottling. I don't see scale or other pests. Is this mottling happening because it needs fertilizer? If so, what sort is best? Should I do a foliar feed? AS you can see, I'm a beginner at this. Thanks! |
