We have recently planted a Mandarin in a pot. It has been trickle watered by an irrigation system for about 3/4 hrs most days and the leaves are curled and do not look healthy. I would have expected that excess water would have drained. What do you think!

Imo way too much water, and what is the drainage like at the bottom of the pot!

Just give it a good water every 2-3 days, let it dry out a bit between waterings

I confer with stevee6. Too much watering, suspect pot is poor draining also causing the roots to basically drown (the drain holes may be blocked or too small to drain away 3/4 hours of watering every day. About 10-15 minutes of drip per day is ample. Cheers!

Always put some stones in the bottom of pots to help provide better drainage. .sorry if that is preaching to the converted.

You should pee on them too ,but only if they pay extra.
I think benden is worried the neighbours might see her bottom. assuming she s a she.
