December 19, 2016Q.Kaffir lime
What is a good soil type for a potted kaffir lime, sandy and drained or some good organic mix? Oh and do they like much liquid fertilizer? Thanks for your time. Regards Darren

December 19, 2016A.You should use a loamy and well draining potting mix with plenty of organic material.
It is best to purchase a fertilizer that is specially formulated for Citrus and follow the application directions on the container.
Do not over fertilize you tree.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/care-of-your-kaffir-lime-tree.htm

SwitzerlandQ.Kaffir lime tree in the living room
I own a kaffir lime tree for three years now. It is about 6 months per year inside the appartment. Everything was going well. Six months ago I moved to another place. Since then many leaves produce huge resin drops and the tree is dropping a lot of sticky tasteless resin. But the tree looks great and healthy. The average temperature is a bit higher due to more direct sunlight. What could be the reason for this behavior? How can I prevent this dropping to the floor? Thanks for ideas.

April 11, 2017A.Thank you very much. In the meantime by using a magnifying glass I found a lot of scale insects (coccoidea). We washed the leaves and we will check them from now on.

April 10, 2017A.You have either tow things going on here.
On the appearance of the leaf it looks like water, which some plant leaves can drip water-it's called transpiration or guttation.
This article has more information.
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/guttation-in-plants.htmIf this substance is sticky, it could be Honeydew, which is the secretion of pests.

Inspect the plant more closely and treat with Neem Oil is pests are found.
