Q. I had bought a lime tree about two weeks ago and have now noticed that there some of the leaves curling up. I've left the plant be, hoping that the leaf curl would stop, but it is not, and more leaves are curling up. There are also little trails on some of the leaves. I don't think its underwatering, as I mist the plant twice a day, and also have a few pants of water in front of the heater vent to increase the humidity in the room.
Overall the plant is doing great, with 20+ blooms, but Im getting worried as the number of leaves curling up is not slowing up.
A. It does look like you have the citrus leafminer on the plants. The product that should be used to control this is Neem Oil; we carry a ready to use spray bottle that you can spray the foliage with, and also mix with warm water (50/50) and pour into the soil for further control.
