Average outdoor weekly temperature is 33.6F. The greenhouse average weekly temperature is 51.5F and its thermostat was set around 45F. Today I've bumped the thermostat up to 55F to try and get some of the greenhouse trees to flower/grow. |

There was some kind of damage/defficiency to the leafs when I got the plant but its looking better I think. All the citrus are given 2-4 sprayings of neem/soap before migrating from outdoors into the greenhouse to overwinter. Also lots of fertilizer. |
