Question
Greetings. I have a small Meyer lemon tree I planted in a pot last fall. I am in
Portland OR, and brought it inside in October when the nights got cold. It is
by a south-facing window in our sunroom, next to my ficus tree. It bloomed,
and I pollinated it with a toothbrush and now it has several growing, green
lemons with many new blossoms coming. It seems healthy but it has three
things that worry me. One, several of the leaves have round, smooth-sided
holes in the middle. There is no sign of what is munching on them. Two,
many of the leaves appear to have a sticky substance on them, front and
back. I recall from previous houseplants that this is the sign of something
eating the sap. Three, ever since I fertilized with boxed citrus fertilizer, there
has been some mold on the pot, and now I see lots of tiny flying insects
circling the soil and crawling on the surface. I'm willing to do anything non-
poisonous to help my beautiful tree. I'm very fond of it and want it to be
healthy. Thank you so very much for any help you can offer me.

Answer
Hi Annie, No problem, use Pure Neem Oil from Dyna Grow and it will take care of all your citrus problems.  It is organic, does not wash off, is also a fungicide and a miticide.  It does not kill anything but alters the flavor of the leaf and the bugs go elsewhere.  It is the only product I use as my nursery.  Spray around the soil and it will keep the little flies away too.  kathy
