No new leaves on indoor lime tree
My 2-year-old lime tree gave me a dozen or more small but delicious limes last year. This year it is producing the same. My problem is that it hasn’t grown any new leaves AT ALL! Sunny, indoor location (I’m in Michigan). I regularly water and fertilize with 15-10-30. What does my lime tree want from me?

Not much more. It sounds like you are giving your lime tree everything it wants because only happy and fulfilled citrus plants will give fruit. Plants that are grown indoors in pots will never be as large as outdoor trees. While the lime tree is working on fruit production it may not send out new foliage. I suspect in a few months you will see some new leaves. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
