You need to learn the art of Irish Dissembling!
I never did get the Yank obsession with wreaths.
Here they are only ever used at funerals!

I was wondering if some of the kind folks here could give me some advice. I'm growing a Meyer's lemon tree indoors, and I put it in some more homemade biochar/terra preta soil. But it's withered and not looking so hot. The leaves have dropped off of it. I believe this is because the roots dried out during shipping to my house. Will it recover or do I have to give it up as a loss and order a new tree? Anyone grown one of these Meyer lemons?
This is my first one. The lemon tree's brethren, the lime and dwarf fig, are looking much better and putting out new leaves.

Stick the plant in a bucket of water for a day or so; and complain to who you purchased it from that should not happen.
Cirrus need a lot of everything including
1. lots of light -full sun!
2. a bit of soil in the potting mix (I don't know why; don't ask).
3. lots of fertiliser including iron --slow release fertiliser (osmocote?) would be safest, so as not to over do it-- which could make the leaves drop off
4. lots of water. lack of this will also make the leaves drop off.
5. leaves will fall off a lemon if they are planted or mulched
above the graft point
6 there are miniature lemons available now that take to pots a bit better than your standard huge tree
7. I have never had a lot of success with citrus in pots.
(I am going to try a dwarf citrus when I save up enough to buy one (very expensive -c. $50)
