I have had a potted Calamondin Orange tree for many years. It used to bloom a lot and set many fruits. Lately, it hasn’t been very productive. In fact, I think it’s been two years since I last saw an orange, and then it was only a single specimen. But I’ve still been taking care of it. I re-pot it every other year or so, I trim branches, I drag it inside during the winter and drag it outside for summer.
While I was in Nebraska, the whole plant withered. I don’t know if it was just a water issue, or there is something else wrong. It doesn’t look like the stems are dead, so I’m nursing it right now, but whether it makes it or not remains to be seen. Because of its non-fruitfulness lately, I wouldn’t be too sad if it died. Then I could use the sunniest window in my house for some other new plant.
While I’m sorry for your loss, I have to say that you should just chuck it. or burn it.
I like the peacock feathers. My grandpa used to have them in vases on the piano in his house.
When I was a kid, I LOVED peacock feathers. As an adult, it was one of the first things I bought for my house. I still love them.
I thank you.

I thought that’s how a plant is supposed to look in the winter. Oops. My dining room is full of Halloween decorations.
