skeeter, so far so good, i really thought it was a goner.... only had a couple of leaves left. but over the weekend more a ton of new sprouts showed up and a few blossoms. knew repotting would shock the plant to a degree but not that much. keeping my fingers crossed.
Glad to hear your tree is doing better. Key lime is good citrus to grow in a container and when you get fruit, you can easily start new ones from the seeds (or buy some key limes at the store to get seeds). They will produce fruit from seed in 2-3 years. If you are in a cold climate, you should read up on WLD --winter leaf drop.
After throwing out many Bearss Lime trees becasue I thought they were sick or dead I have come to learn that they go through their own "winter" after fruiting. They lose their leaves and to all intents and purposes they become "dead". Just put the tree in a quiet corner and let it rest, watering only infrequently just to keep the plant alive. After a suitable rest period, the tree will come back to life and will provide lovely fruits once again. I am obsessed with these miniature citrus trees, they are so convenient, but there is not a lot of information out there about them. I wasted a lot of money on them before, but I have since become a lot wiser in dealing with them. Do not put them outside, because scale and furry scale is a real blight with these trees (I guess these bugs love the taste of lemon and limes just like we do). Do not put them near any other house plants that could be harbouring these pests and when you bring a new tree home from the plant store, give them a few sprays of recommended pest spray about two weeks apart just in case
