Indoor Lime Tree Brown Leaf Edges: Light, Water, and Pot Size

Likely Culprits

1. Insufficient light: Citrus needs maximum direct sun. East window gives only morning sun—often inadequate.
2. Overpotting: Too-large pot holds excess moisture, causing root damage.
3. Hard water: Mineral buildup burns leaf edges. Switch to filtered/distilled/rainwater.

Proper Watering

Let top 1–2 inches dry between thorough waterings.

Address these three factors; the tree may recover if roots are still healthy.
