Nicely done, Rick. Can you give us some idea of your growing conditions for this species?
What the purpose of the lemon juice? every watering or just one a while ? do you have this plant in full sun? partial shaded? or shaded ?Thanks Tom
I'm using the wooden slat basket for this plant and its already run roots through a 4' and now 6" basket.
It gets watered every day with a low TDS water (hardness ~20ppm as CaCO3) with about 3-5ppm N from K-lite. The addition of 6 or so drops per gallon of lemon juice to the mix has improved leaf color in this plant and the beseae.
Humidity has been running 60-95% (even the fogger hasn't been keeping up this summer). Peak noon temps this summer have been as high as 90'ish in the GH, but mostly mid 80's.
Thanks Rick. Are you using the lemon juice to reduce pH of the irrigation water?
Rick, I wanted someone else to ask it, but are you using "fresh" or purchased liquid from concentrate lemon juice?
I'm using that lemon juice concentrate that comes in the fake plastic lemon.
Hate to admit it, but I may do a little experiment with fresh squeezed!

Do you think it is the acidity or is it something else in the lemon juice that does wonder to the plant , maybe vitamin C or other nutrients' factors?
