wet and cold

9 years ago

Is there anything to be done for the citrus during this cold wet spell in California? It's been raining practically the whole week thru. I have a potted dekopon, grown from a sumo seed. The pot is a heavy terracotta container, much too heavy to move. Although I used a porous blend, I'm wondering if the water along with the cold will kill it.

Does the pot have holes for drainage? My potted key lime seems to be loving all the cold rain over the past couple weeks and is drying out in between storms. (Not yet for this current one though as it's still going for us in SoCal)

We have received a lot of rain but I would think it would be ok as long as it's draining the water out. Is your tree showing any signs of stress? If so a picture would be nice to help diagnose.

drink cups with about 2 inches of water will collect most of your rain and be heavy enough to stay upright in heavy winds. I did this in 1 very wet spring 4 years ago.

The dekopon protrait after all the rain. I placed a couple of ceramic bowls in the pot to catch the rain like Poncirusguy's contraption.
