How to use
Potting: Place Miracle-Gro Premium Mediterranean & Citrus Compost in the bottom of the pot and put the root ball on top of this layer. Fill in around the edges with more compost ensuring the top feeder roots are covered with 2cm of fresh compost. Water well and keep in the shade for a few weeks to allow new roots to grow.
Watering: In hard water areas use rainwater whenever possible to maintain the slightly acid conditions of the compost. Allow the surface to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly but do not allow to stand in water.
Feeding: Citrus trees actively grow all year round. In summer they produce new leaves and flowers and in Winter the fruits ripen. As a result of this activity they need to be fed year round. during the growing season and stop feeding completely during the winter. From March to September feed every two weeks with a balanced feed such as Miracle-Gro® All Purpose Soluble Plant Food for bushy growth and to prevent fruit drop and leaf yellowing.
