Welcome! We need more info to help you. What is it planted in? Do you fertilize? If so, with what and how much? Can you post pics? We will help you in any way we can here.

Hi Tova,

My lime tree was the same way for the first year, despite repotting in the best soil mix (5-1-1 recommended here on the forum) and regular citrus fertilizer. I moved mine outside in March, and it seems mine was spending the summer making wonderful new roots! It also gave me four limes that are nearly ripe! But in over 11 months, it has had no new leaves --until just a few weeks ago!

So as long as it is healthy and you've tended it with good watering, light and soil, perhaps it is just taking care of business getting settled into a new home. I could be wrong, but I believe lime trees are annual bloomers and so would not bloom until spring, even with grow lights. I would be careful not to overwater during fall/winter and be warry of putting the grow light too close.

Maybe someone like Steve or Mike here will give you better advice on what to expect for indoor growth, but I would say your tree growth may slow down even more now that days are growing shorter, especially in the northern zones.

Good luck with your new tree! Suzanne
