Leaf Disease on Lime Tree

Question

I have a small lime tree in a pot. All of a sudden the leaves developed a dirty brown coating on top and a thick crusty white coating on the underside. How do I treat this disease?

Answer 1

It sounds like you have either mealybugs or scale on the underneath leaf and prrobabbly sooth mold. Neem oil will treat both. the following article should be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/problems-lime-trees.htm
