Lime tree losing buds


Question
Hi Kathy:
I have a Lime tree which I bought 2 years ago from a kit. It's doing quite well; plenty of flowers and buttons that resemble miniature limes; the problem, they all fall off and never mature to full fruit. I looked for insect infestation or disease but it appears clean. I live in New Jersey and the tree has been indoors for the winter. I really looks healthy otherwise. Can you help?
Thanks for your knowledge.
Mario

Answer
Hi Mario, you may have a fungus in the blooms and you will not see it.  You can use Neem Oil spray on the blooms from Dyna Grow.  Also very important to be consistant with watering.  Do not leave your plant sit in water for longer than 15 minutes if it is in a dish.  kathy
