Hi all

My calamondin has developed dry tips on several of its leaves. it is
only a small plant - maybe 20-25cm tall but growing outwards, but it
has one bit of fruit that has been growing and 7 flowers. i mist it
several times a day with my other 3 citrus plants. it is positioned in
a south facing window that it has been enjoying for almost 5 months
now.

it is in a ceramic pot, and i knew from the white residue on it that
there were left over salts from the fertilizer. i have flushed the pot
a week ago but the residue is still there so i think i need to flush it
again. could over fertilizing be the problem? i am very careful with
watering and my other plants seem to be feeling fine so im not sure
what could be causing it

My guess is that you may have it too wet from the flushing and may be
overfeeding?
