    Some a good thread here regarding Meyer Lemon and wanted to see if my situation applies. Please see attached picture.

    Leaves will routinely take on the characteristics of the attached before falling off. Pot size is good and watering is only done as necessary. I acidify the soil regularly and mist daily. The plant is indoors (Midwest) with some outdoor exposure in summer months. It's ~ 2 years old.

    Any thoughts on how to keep leaves for their full duration is much appreciated.

    RockoF, Can you take a Ph reading of the soil? I use a Hanna Ph tester using the pour threw method Accuracy is +-0.1 if you don't have a good tester, The paper type used for pools an hot tubs also works well, The stick in the soil type meter should also give you a general reading. Dale

    If it is on its own roots or anything but Trifoliata, your soil is probably way to acidic for the tree... Try repotting in fresh soil and don't acidify the soil.
