Re: curling of leaves on my dwarf lemon.

Hello @monty 

 

There are a number of possible causes why your leaves are curling from mineral deficiencies, temperature effects and insect infestation. In order to rule out insect infestation, carefully open each leaf to see if there are any insects infesting the bottom of the leaves. If there are insects such as mealybug, mites or aphids, I suggest using Yates 750ml Ready To Use Pest Oil.

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when spraying.
