Using lechuza citrus pon as a substrate as I’ve heard that citrus doesn’t take to LECA well. Wicking up nutrient solution from the reservoir which is being kept fresh by an air stone.

I moved it to this setup from soil because I’m bad about checking for soil moistness, and it lost most of its leaves. But I can refresh the water every week or two in a reservoir no problem.

This picture is a week old and since then there’s been even more new leaf growth.

    (never you mind how much better the lemon tree is looking. the lime just had its leaves shed after a cold injury when the temperature dropped far faster than we expected. she mad a bunch of limes to continue her genetic line, but she’s doing a lot of new growth right now)

      I’m such a citrus newbie. Are you going to trim the branches back a bit to help encourage more focused growth?
