Any citrus gardeners out there?

As part of my “getting better” I’ve been growing/taking care of plants for some time and it’s been a very rewarding experience. I remember my family calling me the plant whisperer when I was young-er (pre-alc) and I loved that “title”.

Now long story short - I grew some oranges from seeds (organic) and some of them have a couple of yellowing leaves. Anyone has an idea what may be wrong? The plants are super healthy otherwise. I did have a fruit fly infestation though and used neem oil to get rid of them but some still prevail.

I think there are some gardening people on here so hopefully someone can help :pray:t2:
If not, have you tried asking on Reddit? I’ve had a lot of excellent advice on there over the years for various things. 9 times out of 10 there will be someone who can offer a useful solution

Two different google links. Hope something will be helpful.

There’s both a gardener thread and a people and plants in recovery thread; the groups will love seeing the fruits of your labor …

Hope your plant will be fine.
