Hello,
I just signed up for this site because I've been growing a couple things in containers since I live in an apartment. Currently I'm concerned about my lime tree. I got it a year ago in November and was initially growing it inside with a grow light since it was too cold to keep outside. Unfortunately when I moved, it was left in the moving truck over night and was badly damaged by the cold. I pruned the damaged branches and it it grew back only the leaves it currently has. I've fertilized it and the pH/ moisture levels seem to be good. Now, however, the leaves are curling and turning a dull green. It gets a good portion of the day in direct sunlight and of the three citrus trees I have, this is the only one struggling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, the eureka lemon tree has what seems to be bug-eaten leaves and I've tried a couple different organic pesticides which haven't helped any plants affected.

Thank you for taking the time to read!

I have absolutely no experience growing citrus or with freeze damage. Not yet anyways. Crossing Fingers!

But, I thought this might help.

I have found that coffee, tea, and rose can all agree on one thing... water everyday.
