Curling Leaves

11 years ago

I have had a young potted Kaffir lime tree for a little over a year. It was recently fed, and I noticed that the fresh new leaves have curled a little. Can someone advise on how to correct this problem?

Thank you!

You probably just overfed them a bit; they will grow out of that. As for sun, I don't know that Kaffir can really have too much sun... as long as it gets water; it is a full sun tropical tree... hates the cold.
