Help! Powdery mildew?

[bribates10]

Help! Newer to gardening and certainly new to owning citrus trees! I bought a Meyers lemon and lime tree recently from a local nursery and about three days later noticed what appears to be mildew on a couple of the leaves. I want to say powdery mildew, any ideas what this could be?

It looks like powdery mildew. I would spray it with either 3% hydrogen peroxide or baking soda solution

Hi Chuck, how do you make up the Baking Soda spray please

Hi Chuck, how do you make up the Baking Soda spray please

When I need to use something for mildew I use about 2 heaping tablespoons of the soda per gallon of water. I wait about 7 days to see if anything has changed. If it hasn't I will spray with Neem. This usually takes care of the problem.
