WHat is wrong with my Calamondin tree?
Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2008 11:02 am
Hi,
I have a calamondin tree (only about a foot tall) that I purchased about a year ago. It is being grown indoors in my solarium which receives alot of afternoon/evening southwest sun. I am confused about something. THe leaves appear to be curling up at the top, which would indicate that the tree is dry, but when I probe the soil with my moisture meter, it reads that the soil is very moist to wet. EVen when I remove the probe, it feels kind of wet.
The plant was not watered when I was away for two weeks so it did dry up a bit. I watered it, but the top leaves are still curled up.
How often should I be watering it? Should I water when the moisture meter reads dry or should I just disregard it?
Help!
