Finding light for Calamondin in your home
a window
Calamondin may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

How to fertilize Calamondin
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Calamondin after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Please help! Can someone tell me why my calamondin is falling leaves and fruits and now branches are turning brown. Is there a way I can still save this?

Hi, I’m not sure why my calamondin plant is dropping fruits, otherwise plant still looks healthy

Tree's dropping leaves daily. Leaves are green and appear healthy. No spots, minor silvering. Started mid July after a massive bloom. Spider mites were removed about a month ago. Repotted in May. Doesn't seem over/under watered. I'm at a loss. Help!
