Citrus - Reviews and experiences

Not great at first, but I kept it. The plant showed up with leaves dropping and a dusting of white mould that later went black. I tried neem spray and a few other fixes. Only a few green leaves survived. I've had healthier mail-order citrus before, so I was wary. After patience and some pruning it recovered more than I expected. Not perfect, but usable now.

I wasn't expecting much when I unboxed them, but the moment I relaxed was when one actually sat on my kitchen windowsill and, for a few afternoons, looked like a proper plant. The other still looks sickly, thin and yellowing, and both are nowhere near the lush pictures on the site — more like two feet if you hold up a twig and measure from the pot bottom. I paid over $130 for the pair and felt misled by the photos. Still, delivery and packaging were flawless, which mattered when I was juggling kids and work. Glad they arrived intact, but I wouldn't call them trees. Not what I hoped.
