Hi!
I'm Jordan, from Italy. Nice to meet you. I have a question about a yuzu plant I bought this January.
The plant had a small flower and many dark green leaves when arrived at home. Few days later I repotted the plant with a specific, slightly acidic, soil for citrus and left it indoor. One month later I spent 10 days in Japan and when I come back the yuzu had three new branches but dropped the flower, than I decided to move the plant outside. The last month was windy and the temperatures 10 ⁰C above the average (~27⁰C) and the yuzu seemed to have stopped thriving, the leaves were a light green. I was afraid that I've watered too much so I repotted again with new soil but the old soil was moist, not wet, and hadn't a mushy smell. Anyway, in these days we have temperature 10 ⁰C below the average (~5 ⁰C overnight), it's raining a lot and my yuzu have lost many leaves as you can see in the pics. I saw some spider mites and I killed them with my fingers and by using permetrine, I gave 1,5 liters of water to the plant every 10 days, once with iron sulfate, and I fertilized the soil with a product for citrus.
What's your opinion? I made some mistakes or the plant is only under stress?
Thanks.
