Based on my previous topic of kumquats dropping leaves, and based on the fact that literally every citrus I bought from nurseries (local ones, planfor in France and oscar tintori) , even though they look really good on arrival, they start dropping leaves after some time, not right away but usually several weeks after repotting.
The cause of the leaves falling off are either winds of 15 - 20 km/h -which is not much but citrus do not like wind, and I place them against a wall, and under a roof when wind is heavier)
But lately the sun is sharp. The weather announcement first said day 1 21°C, the next day 24°C, the next day 28 °C. The wall my plants stand against get morning sun (the sun rises here around 7 AM but due to neighbours, my plants only get it around 08:30 AM) and the sun disappears from my plants at 14:00 (give or take). However these last 2 hours were apparently a bit too much on the hottest day, most plants held up well, except some including the kumquat which I found weird as its supposed to handle heat.
Now, I don't want this to be a duplicate of the other thread, so mainly I wanted to ask here, is it required, common or best practice to "acclimatise" nursery bought citrus?
And how would I best do this? Especially in the future then I have to go back to work so I can't keep moving them around every hour.
