tobina,

I had the exact same problem with leaf drop on my IML. I had left the tree in the 1 gallon pot in which I purchased it in late 2007. I was watering it once a week but it always seemed to be dry. I took it out of the pot and found that it was TOTALLY root bound to a degree which I have not seen before. I have my IML inside in a south window and I thought it was a light issue but after seeing the roots I repotted it. I did a drastic re-pot as I had to cut the root ball to untangle some of the roots. I lost about 50% of my leaves (or more) and 50% of the blossoms before the repot. The tree is now in a much larger pot and is very happy. No more of the flowers have dropped and after the repot I only lost about another 5% of the leaves. I do fertilize my IML with weak seaweed/fish emulsion solution (1 tsp in a gallon water).

I saw so many different techniques on keeping citrus indoors in pots that my head was swimming. I decided to take matters into my own hands -and boy am I ever glad I did. Next time I buy a citrus plant I will surely knock it out of the pot at the store to check the root ball.

Good Luck with your Meyer.

tobina I liked your posting and understand what you mean. It's like asking what time it is, and being told how the clock was made.
One sign of WLD is that if the leaf drops and the petiole remains on the tree. Perhaps you could explain further.
I would raise the grow lights, use a soil temp. 70f-21c and lighten up on the water.
You can feed at the end of Feb or beginning March use 10-10-10. I moved into Lawn Fertilizer. NOT the weed and feed. and also add the Micro's like S.T.E.M seaweed, Iron,
and Mag. or epson salt.
I do use CHC as a mix. never had a problem with over watering

Hi Isaac..Or any one else. I was hopeing u could tell me where I can get the product S.T.E.M minerals. Thanks so much
